William, I had some custom-made prints once or twice - one got even better as the group was really wide and the trimmed photo allowed me to cut out the ceiling. But that was way before the computers got personal.

When doing a paid shoot, going a little wider than what you *expect* to need is usually better: You have to have room to crop off the ends when a customer wants an 8 x 10 or 11 x 14 print -- and if your frame everything tightly into the 2:3 ratio of most SLR's you won't be able to supply prints in these "squarer" print formats without losing things on the long ends of the frame.

When I worked at the photo store we had a number of "professional" photographers who couldn't seem to grasp this concept.

We had a photographer have a brain fart on a group shot last year where he filled the frame with his group, not allowing for 4:5 ratio prints. The post production person on the job was going mental until I introduced her to the concept of using the transform tool as a way of fitting the sides in. I figured they wouldn't mind being a bit thinner anyway.
