Cropping in Lightroom - 01-14-2008, 08:45 PM


I was wondering whats the best aspect ratio for cropping when your going to uploaded to a gallery that offers multiple print sizes? Most of the time I sale 4x6 prints so in the past I have crop all to 4x6 , but wondering now is it best just to leave as shot and crop to order . Is 1:1 keep the same ratio of original shot ?

Thanks
Charles

I leave it and crop to order the majority of the time. UNLESS...there is something that I have to crop out of the photo and it calls for a different ratio.

Ditto. Leave as much room as you can.
