For the most part I crop most of my shots as 4x6 for basic printing for myself and family. Every now and then I take it up to 5x7 or even 8x10. Now each of these has a different ratio so it's usually a separate process for each shot (versus printing a 4x6 crop upsized to 8x10). Am I making too much work out of something simple? Sometimes for the web (and PUG) I might crop at a different ratio. If you do this and decide, "Hey, I want to print that" what do you do? This question is more for those who don't print on their own printer, but send it out. Is there a process you follow that will print something that isn't a standard size? -- Thanks! Ed ============ 8x10 isn't a 35mm print size, so I never print at that. I print 6x8's, 5x7's, hmmm, I don't have any around to check, but I think it is sort of like 9x11's when I am going full frame on 8.5 x 11 paper (it might be 7 x 10). I also have a R1800, so I print on paper larger than 8.5 x 11 too. I actually never printed 8x10's, I don't like cropping my shots during printing. I like cropping my shots for effect, not by necessity. :-) Hmmm, I guess, you are saying 5x7's aren't a 35mm print size either, but I've never noticed a lot of cropping with that, so it seems like a 35mm print size to me.
