This past weekend I took some photos of a family that I know very well, and now they would like to get some photo finished. They would like some of the photos done in 4"x6", 5"x7", and 8"x10". When you get photos finished, do they have to stretch the photo different ways to make it fit the proper size format? It would be a shame to have a nice photo ruined because they had to stretch the picture to make it fit.
Thanks, Dan

| That's why I add a border up to the next print size; "float" the image in the middle so it's not cropped or re-sized. |

Just to double check, do these ratio's look right?
8x10 = 2048x2560
5x7 = 1829x2560
4x6 = 1707x2560
Thanks, Dan |

It depends on where you have your prints done, but generally 2 options are used: Either crop the photo evenly to fill the size of the target photo or have white space on top and bottom or both sides to make the whole photo show, regardless of print size. Sometimes you have control over this, sometimes you don't. I have never heard of anyplace stretching a photo to print, which would ruin most photos -- which is probably why no one uses this approach.
Your approach of cropping the images to the exact ratio for the target print is probably your best bet for getting exactly what you want, and yes, your numbers look correct.
