This might be a silly question but I am struggling to find the right sizes to crop my files and save them too for printing.

What are the standard sizes you guys mostly use for croping with the anticipation the pic will be framed, 8x10, 10x13, 10x14.. etc? I would like to crop images so people can find standard frames for them easily, but I'm not sure exactly what the common expected sizes are? and do you crop 5x7 and save, then recrop to 8x10 if nec, what is the normal workflow for this?

I really like the in camer 4x6 ratio, but its hard to find frames or pre-cut matting to fit a larger print of the same ration like 9x12 etc..

I keep the files in the native 4x6 ratio and crop as needed. There are just too many size options available to crop for each. :)

I work on, and keep all my original files in the original size/aspect ratio - I only crop/resize for a specific output.
