2:3, 4:5 or fullsize ratio

Shooting an XTi with a 1.6 sensor

Question is: When posting images on smugmug do I want to process as ratio 4:5, 2:3, full size???

I know on smugmug the customer can crop the image prior to checking out so I am curious what ratio to post the image as.

Full size on my XSi is a 2:3 ratio. This give the options for what family orders most 4x6 with no cropping. Next would be a 8x12, 12x18, 16x24, & 20x30. The crop would be tough on the 4:5 ratio for a 8x10, but, not bad at all for the 5x7's though. I figure its easier for me to crop if I want a differant size, but, friends and family will probably only get the 4x6s.

I think you are confused or misunderstood. Ratio is something completely different to size. The ratio of the DSLRs is of 2:3, obviously you can change it by cropping it in 4:5 or whatever you wish but there is no full size or I don't know what you meant with that. Maybe you meant at what size should you upload them and got confused with ratios or I don't know... hehe

I always post the full image, uncropped, to my smugmug site. I also have "Proof Delay" set so that I can make sure that the customer doesnt inadvertantly make a poor crop, or rather that I could re-crop it before it gets printed.

Just upload uncropped images and set the proof delay so you can catch poor crops and correct them before printing and Bob's your mother's brother.

I think he meant should he crop the images to a 2:3 ratio (which will print a 4x6, 8x12, ect.), or 4:5 (will print a 8x10) or no crop (i assumed he meant straight from the camera) which is a 2:3 ratio as it is (just a LOT larger than reducing it a bit). This is so others won't have to crop and will get the print size the image was edited to look like. Obviously, buyers can crop on their own if they wish, but, I know my family doesn't think that much about it and I would hate for them to make a print from a horrible crop that I have already adjusted.

Oh, so it was pretty much what I was thinking haha, thanks.
