| Need some advice please. I'm going to be shooting a friend engagement. I would like to know do I have to size the photos for print or do the print shop do that? I'm burning the pictures on a CD and giving it to them. Thanks for any help!!! |

You can crop them for certain sizes OR let the print shop crop them. Either way will work.
Here's the catch:
You camera produces a 3:2 ratio image - comparable to a 4x6 print.
An 8x10 or 5x7 will be cropped vertically in portrait orientation or horizontally in the landscape orientation. Therefore, you must be mindful of this when shooting the images and leave room for cropping.
As photographers we are trained to "fill the frame" in a shot, but when it comes down to actually making prints, you must be mindful of the final product. Therefore, when composing your shots, crop loosely to give yourself headroom for the final images.
