Mounts for digital photo sizes
(info)
Many "point & shoot" digital cameras
produce photos with a 1.33:1 (4:3) aspect ratio while most digital
SLR cameras generally use the 35mm 1.5:1 aspect ratio. Some cameras
allow you to select the ratio of the photos. You can find out the
aspect ratio of your digital images by looking at the pixel
dimensions. eg 2048 x 1536 pixels would be ratio of 1.33:1
When printing, the ratio of the printing paper doesn't always match
the aspect ratio of the photo. Regular photo paper sizes include 6"
x 4" (1.5:1 aspect ratio), 7" x 5" (1.4:1), 10" x 8" (1.25:1) and
11" x 8.5" (1.29:1). So when you print your photos to a paper size
that has a different ratio, you'll either end up bordering the photo
to match the aspect ratio of the paper, or cropping the photo to fit
the paper.
If you send your
your photos to a commercial photo printer, they will either be
automatically bordered (blank or black borders added) or they will
be automatically cropped). Some printers use automatic face
recognition software to try and help you out, others may do it
manually with a mark-one-eyeball, and others will simply crop in
relation to the centre of the image.
Problems with automatic cropping may
spoil the picture if you have important objects going from edge to
edge as they can get taken away during cropping. So, it is best if
you can either do your own cropping to send an image that will
exactly match the aspect ratio of the paper you intend to have it
printed on, or have it printed with borders or to an exact digital
size, then specify the correct mount window size
|
Digital and traditional
film photo sizes can be different. You can choose to slightly "crop"
(lose a small part of the image on the long side) with digital
prints by using standard "near digital" window sizes, or order
mounts tailored to fit digital ratios. So you have the choice
whether to "crop" your photos (either in your own software or let
your digital printing service do it) or keep the full digital ratio.
