| How Borders Affect Cropping |
|
Our borders are designed in a 2:3 aspect ratio, which is best-suited for a
4" x 6" print size.
Many photos taken with digital cameras are in a 3:4 aspect ratio, so it is likely a portion of the top and bottom of your photo will be trimmed to accommodate the border.
Please note: Photos taken with 35mm cameras are always in a 2:3 aspect ratio, so there is no risk of cropping when bordering these types of online photos.
When you order a print of a bordered photo, we will adjust the proportions of the border for the print size you choose. We do this so the border will not be cropped irregularly during the printing process. However, we recommend using the "Print Preview" feature in the photo cart to see how your photo may be cropped.
