When you ask for a photo in a certain format, it may be that your original file is not in the right proportions from the desired print size as digital sensors are all proportional to the usual printing formats
Most compact cameras are equipped with a sensor with an image ratio of 4: 3, which corresponds to the former aspect ratio of CRT TVs and computer monitor. You will be forced to always crop your images in the majority of current print formats. For some newer cameras, it is possible to select the aspect ratio on the menu of the camera (4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 1:1). If the camera you are using does offer the 4:3 ratio, the proportional print format will 4x5.33 inches.

3:2 ratio
The 3:2 ratio is the same ratio as 35 mm film (36x24 mm). This is the aspect ratio available with all SLR cameras. The print size is 4x6 inches. When you ask to print a 8x10 for example, the ratio is not the same. If you want to keep the picture in full frame, you must choose a 3:2 ratio format to fits in, like a 8x12 or reduce the photo so that it can fits the desired format If you do not mind to keep the full image, you can crop the picture in the new ratio.

This is an aspect ratio which gives pictures in square format.
Ratio 16: 9
WATCH OUT! This is the image ratio of HDTV, there is no current print format to fit in. Cropping will always be performed for the current print formats. Files in 16:9 ratio can be printed in full frame if you want to keep your entire image.

I stumbled across your store while visiting Montreal. When I walked in, I found a huge selection of gear at awesome prices. Picked up a Lowpro 450 Pro Runner BP, for $100 cheaper then any place I've found in Toronto. Thanks! I will be limiting most of my gear purchases to when I visit Montreal!! You WILL see me again!
