Hi Annie! This is so helpful, thank you so much!!! That cheat sheet is awesome :D

One question though… if I crop 5×5 but they print 20×20 there should be no quality loss? it’s about the aspect ratio, am I right?

Thank you SO much for this explanation and numbers, too. So, if I have a Canon S95, and it offers several ratios in which to shoot, I should “shoot” for the 3:2 as a standard setting? I have gotten myself in trouble putting it on some odd ratios. One of my fave shots I shot with an odd, long ratio and also shot it too tight, and then had no room to crop in a print size I wanted! Dang it. I have just never been sure WHICH ratio to pretty much stick with. I do like to print 5×7 and 8×10, especially. Any thoughts? QuirkyKim

[...] (with just a bit of “breathing room” around the edges to allow for prints at different aspect ratios). It can be more challenging to see the final composition through your viewfinder versus thinking, [...]

Thanks so much for this post. I have a question in regards to the sizes of canvases….How do I ensure that i have enough space to be left for the canvas to be wrapped around the frame (1.5 in or 2.5 in)….? do i have to resize the image in some way? I have been getting into trouble with my clients (like you mentioned up top) because the image they wanted in canvas did not work because too many important parts would be cut off….what is the solution here? thanks so much. nadine

I’m new & was lured-in by your amazing actions!! However, frustrated & hesitant to purchase actions bcuz last week two separate pro labs told me to choose color correct. Even to my dismay of telling them I have a calibrated monitor, they still insisted! *sigh* I thought maybe it was best for skin tones however the creativity within my images would also be ‘corrected’. So, I held off my clients’ prints, searching the web in hopes of the answer that I wanted. YOU’RE A BLESSING!!! I have read 18 books, paid for webinars, tutorials, & attended classes YET YOU ARE THE 1ST PERSON THAT EXPLAINED THE ASPECT RATIO & COLOR CALIBRATION PROCESS TO ME CLEAR AS A BELL!!! You are an incredibly, artistically gifted person with your photography BUT…. You take it to a whole, new level by blogging TO HELP OTHERS!!! I can not wait until I get my actions ordered tomorrow/Wed from you, as well as subscribe to your blog as soon as I hit send on this;) May God Bless You With Everlasting Creativity!!!!
