Cropping
When you select an image size please be aware that what you receive will vary slightly from the original image that you see on the screen. The standard photographic print sizes are still shown in inches. The standard sizes, along with approximate metric equivalents, are:
Inches |
mm |
| 4 x 6 | 102 x 152 |
| 5 x 7 | 127 x 178 |
| 6 x 8 | 152 x 203 |
| 8 x 8 | 203 x 203 |
| 8 x 10 | 203 x 254 |
The 'aspect ratio' or shape of the photo is different for each of the sizes selected. Please bear this in mind when ordering. Sometimes a particular shape will not work - for example a square photo will not work with a large group.
If the size you order does not fit the photo well we'll do our best to crop to suit the image.
Some examples are shown below of how an image is affected by cropping.

Images are shown in the on-line store already cropped to what we consider to be the best look, based on the original image format or changed to square. The print that you receive will vary slightly from that shown in the on-line store, depending on your print size choice. If an image is shown as square format only then order the nearest size to it based on the shorter side (if an appropriate square size is not shown).
