I know it must be on here...

But I don't know what to search for. My question is:

What are the different sizes that you can print without having to crop the picture on a 1.6x crop body?

Thanks in advance!

if you have photoshop, use the crop tool and crop to 8x10 and then your pic won't be resized or manipulated by printing software.

True, but most of my pictures are composed to fit almost the whole frame.

i'm sorry i don't know what you mean.

Most of the time when I take pictures. The subject can fit almost the whole frame. Which means I really won't have much to crop. Hope that helps.

got it, then why did you make the post?

You really to think ahead to what you will be doing with an image if possible. It is not possible to print all sizes without losing a part of the image. I always leave enough room around the primary subject in the image so that if I want to print an 8x10 I can do that while still maintaining all of the primary subject.

For example, using a 30D image that I have you get to print it all on a 4X6, the 5x7 you lose a little and the 8X10 and 11X14 you lose a fair bit. If you are going to fill up your frame with the subject and want to print 8X10 then you need to be prepared to lose that portion off of one end, or both ends as the case may be.

My 30D image was shot in RAW and processed from C1 Pro at 300DPI and it is 3504X2232 px which is 11.7X7.8 inches. If you want to keep the full frame you have to work to those proportions.

Noted, but I'm still curious as to what sizes I can get without having the image crop.

I believe your camera has a sensor with a 2x3 aspect ratio so you can print any variation of 2x3, such as 4x6,6x9,8x12, etc. without having to crop.

Thanks! That's all I was looking for.
