How do you crop a photo so you can retain the same printing format? I want to print in 4x6 and all sizes of 4x6 format (6X9, 8x12, etc). If I just crop a photo at random it will need to be stretched to achieve the same print format...so how do I crop a photo correctly if I intend to print in 4x6 and compatible formats?

If you're using photoshop CS (or other versions I assume) when using the crop tool, there are two little boxes in the upper left. Type 4 in one and 6 in the other (which depends on whether you have a vertical or horizontal crop in mind). Now when you create your crop box it will be locked in a 4:6 ratio. Hope that makes sense...
