uh... i have no idea actually :sweat: i shot 2272x1704 but the lady said "too big, too big".... and thus some of my prints came up all chopped up
:cry:
btw I usually develop 4R... I checked on Kodak.com that the min. resolution for 4R is 1024*768... hmmm.. does that mean anything? *blinks*
Hi Vynara.. ok correct me if I'm wrong, but 2272/1704 is 4/3? That is to say that your aspect ration is 4:3.
Normally a 4R is 6 inches by 4 inches . Which is of aspect ratio 3:2... this is why you get your photos chopped.. cos if you try to fit a 4:3 into 3:2, theres bound to be some cropping since for the same 6 inches in width, the 4:3 will require 4.5 inches in height (assuming youre shooting landscape)
Hmm.. ok i realise that i have not been exactly clear in explanation. Haha... lao jiao help pls?
Yep HOWEVER i think this has been mentioned in some other forum, but there is a special size for the 4:3 aspect ratio. For e.g in 8R, normal 8R is in 3:2 aspect ratio, but S8R (super 8R) is 4:3 aspect ratio.I think there's an equivalent for 4R too. At least i know at Grace Photo which i go to at Sunset they have the size.
Alternatively, you can just tell them to develop it so that it fits into the normal 4R print. However, you will find that you get black vignetting...
Last alternative, of course, is to crop your image so it fits into a 3:2. This is of course, at the expense of your perspective and background.
So i suppose its all what you have in the photo :dunno:
Hope this helps
