Crop to 16x9?

Hi folks. Every laptop, my phone, my pad, my TV are all 16x9 screens. I have been noticing that I really like it when my pics fill the entire screen, at least for landscape type shots. I have recently been cropping my landscape and other shots besides portrait shots to 16x9 so they will fill my screen up. Anyone else prefer doing this? Do you save your raw files and then make certain crops for certain screen types? I have yet to see picture fames you can by at the store that are 16x9.

So I was just wondering how you guys go about cropping, do you do multiple different crops, leave the aspect at 4:3 or what?

Thanks

Lately, I've been doing all my processing (except final sharpening), then saving the uncropped, unresized image as a TIFF.

From there you can go back and crop & resize as desired, should you decide down the road to opt for a 4X6, 16X9, 8X10... whatever... then do final sharpening for that size, and save as a JPEG.

I crop to what I think suits the image. Then when printing for framing, select a frame that is bigger than the print and cut a suitable mat so that the picture displays properly within the frame.

I never consider cropping to suit my monitor as that's not the destination, simply a tool.

Interesting. For me, most of my shots are only destined for a 16x9 screen. I rarely send any of mine off to be made in to prints, so I am thinking that like the first guy who responded, maybe I should just do my processing in lightroom and save as Tiff, but as I said before those Tiff files are just massive. I tried to save in original CR2 and then Canon utility won't open them as edited in Lightroom. The only other option is as a DNG file for lightroom and photoshop but I have heard people say they don't like doing that because then it has to be opened by an Adobe application and they don't like forcing themselves in to that corner. It's nice because the dng file retains all the lightroom edits and is still right around the size of the cr2 raw file. I guess that's what I will start doing, do my Lightroom edits without cropping and save as a dng. Then I can open that and crop and save copies for whatever I want at that time. My hard drive in my laptop is getting full and I have to start saving these file off the computer and the Tiffs are just too huge.

I often prefer the 16:9 aspect ratio over the 3:2 ratio and frequently crop to that.

Time you invested in an exterior hard drive methinks. 99% of my images are stored on an external "dual drive" in TIFF form, along with the original CR2 files direct from camera. That way I always have the ability to revisit the original to reprocess. Only about 50 are saved internally either because of sheer laziness or I'm still working on them.
