Photo aspect ratios and print cropping
Photo print sizes do not all share one aspect ratio. A 4 x 6 photo is 2:3, while 8 x 10 and 16 x 20 are 4:5. Switching between them normally requires cropping or adding borders.
For close viewing, 300 DPI is a common target. Large wall prints can often use 150 DPI depending on viewing distance and lab requirements. The safe-area guide is excluded from the download.
