I apparently got some mis-information, and I was under the impression that an 11x14 was a full frame crop.




Wrong.


It was just enough to ruin my picture.
Would someone be so kind as to enlighten me what dimesions are full frame cause I just blew $12.99?


Is 10x13 a full frame?

What about the couple sizes before and after that? (that is, if 10x13 is a full frame print)

 

 

What?

 

i have no idea what you meant by full frame.

 

Ok, when you go and get pictures printed in 4x6, 5x7, 8x10 (and other sizes on the way up) you don't get the full picture printed. Things are cropped out of it. To put it into perspective, I got a night shot printed in an 11x14 today. It had a pool at the bottom with the moon up top. The moon in the original picture wasn't way at the very top of the shot, but it was up there. When I got the print back, only the bottom 1/4 or so of the moon was printed. This is due to the fact that the dimensions are not conducive to printing the whole image. It has to be cropped.


It's completely asinine if you ask me being that the most common dimmesions of pictures are ones that require cropping. But I am curious if anyone knows print dimensions in which you get the whole picture printed.

Make sense?

 

Simple aspect ratios. Images from your D300 have dimensions of 4288x2848. That's an aspect ratio of 1.5:1. If you want a borderless full frame print (or one with an equal border all the way around) you need a print size with the same aspect ratio such as 8x12, 10x15, 16x24, etc...

 

Thanks!

 

4x6 / 8x12 would be a full frame pic, but it's much harder to find a ready-made 8x12 frame. It's a lot easier to find 8x10 accessories, and it's a much more common size to print. I printed a lot of 8x12's a few years ago, but had most of them custom framed and matted.

 

This actually brings up a really good point regarding cropping.
I like a nice tight crop, but if you intend to print, don't crop too tightly, otherwise
you risk picture choppage due to aspect ratios.

And don't forget that the three most common pictures sizes: 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10 all
have different aspect ratios.

good to know, as i plan to reediting some of my work including finally getting around to editing some modeling work ive done and getting prints of them. Probably will go with 8x10.

 

30x45 FTW...

I think Wolf Camera can only print 24x36 in store anyways.



I'm impatient and don't like to wait.
