Ninty percent of what I sell are 8x10 prints, but I always order 8x12 
prints.  I am fortunate to have a great little one-hour lab close to my 
home that will do color and brightness correction for me at no charge.  
They will also zoom in when necessary, but that only works when the 
subject matter is centered (sorry about the rule of one-thirds).  By 
ordering 8x12's I have the final choice of cropping as I wish.  The 
best part is that 8x10s and 8x12s are the same price.  When I first 
started this little enterprize, I had my prints made at "the best" lab 
in town.  When I found out I could get better quality and service at my 
mini-lab for $4/print less it was a no-brainer.
