what is the best way to convert 4:3 ratio to 3:2??

[looteer]

how do you guys convert 4:3 ratio taken on your DC to 3:2 ratio to be printed to 4R size??

i have taken a large collection of photos and thinking of whether i can do batch conversion easily......if so what software can i use?? photoshop??

if i don't crop it myself, where do those color lab crop??

top, bottom, left or right side??

i m thinking of sending to a color lab using fuji frontier machines.....

thanks for any advice..... i m sending out my prints for the first time......

Normally I'd crop.. and cropping is best done by manually by yourself, or the lab. Usually a good lab will take the effort to at least do some decent cropping, but it's best you do it yourself.

hi YSLee,

what software do you use?? photoshop??

do you create a layer with the 3:2 ratio mask as a guide to crop off the unwanted portion??

seems very tedious process and not very precise; and i have lots of pictures...... any easier way??

i m quite new at this...... so thanks for any help....

regards,
