Hello All,
I have a portrait shoot tonight. I have a question though. I know that for a majority of prints, shooting in Jpeg, the resolution makes you crop a portion of the picture if say the customer wants a 5x7. How do you compensate for this? Do you allow space around the photo for cropping to size? Or, is there a way in Photoshop that you can 'fit to size' your picture, making the entire frame a 5x7? I haven't figured this one out yet. I like the pictures to look great when I post them, but then I end up cutting off a portion of the head or something to get it to fit on a 8x10 etc.
Please help!
Thanks! |

| Unless your final print size has exactly the same height/width ratio as your sensor, you will have to crop to print. This is normally not a problem unless you have shot extremely tight shots of your subject. Photoshop can crop but it can't "make" a 5x7 ratio shot "fit" a 10x15 frame without distorting the shot. |

| Just allow extra room around the subject. |

Either allow extra room around your subject as suggested, or print in non-standard sizes with the intention it should be matted when framed. Standard print sizes match the standard frame sizes -- nothing says the image has to fill the frame.
