OK, so I waited until I had about 100 photos that I'm pleased with. All of them have been converted from RAW. Some have been cropped. I'm assuming a certain size (4X6) or something like that is normal, but I don't know which. I'm wondering what is the standard?

Don't understand? What are you planning on doing with the photos? |

| If you don't want the people printing to decide what gets cropped in different proportions (or "sizes") then you should make the individual crops yourself. I usually make a 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, and 11x14. |

ditto - without knowing how/where/why the images are to be used, we can't possibly advise a solution...

They are for myself. I plan on keeping them in a book with all the photos I've worked hard on in photoshop etc. Kind of like a portfolio of sorts...

Is this something you plan to show prospective clients? Friends & relatives? If you have even the slightest inkling of showing them for business purposes - ever - I'd go no smaller than 8x10... BUT, that also depends on your budget for this project.
Do you plan to have an actual book printed, or is this more a scrapbook / photo album from walmart kinda thing?
Not trying to be rude, but its all in the details - and we can't give you much more detail than you give us ;)

I think I figured this right...
if you crop to a 1.50 ratio (4x6, 8x12, 2000x3000), then you can get all the other sizes from within that. This is the RATIO, not the actual print size.
2.5 x 3.5 = 1.40
2.5 x 3.75 = 1.50
4.0 x 6.0 = 1.50 ***
5.0 x 7.0 = 1.40
5.0 x 7.5 = 1.50
8.0 x 10.0 = 1.25
8.0 x 12.0 = 1.50
11.0 x 14.0 = 1.27
11.0 x 16.5 = 1.50
Bottom line... CROP to a 4x6 (not inches) (1 : 1.5) ratio and all the other images can be cropped from within that image.
Right?

um, the D80 is already in 2x3 format.
(if all you want to print is a 4"x6" print, no cropping required)
I'm assuming the D80 is the same format as the D200, but we all know what assume means...

But sometimes you want to crop the image compositionally... :)

It's like a scrap book for myself. If I ever get good enough where I need a profile I'll probably know what one looks like by then.
