Building BobSmithPhotography.net has stopped expanding because I've been overwhelmed with spam on the comment forums. So, if you're here and have questions about web design come and visit Forums, Blogs, Wikis dot com. It has articles that I've written, some of which are also here, and a web design forum as well so you can ask any questions you may have. There is still a lot of good stuff here though, so poke around the links and take a look.

Aspect Ratio

Aspect ratio is the ratio of width to height.  For example, a 4x6 print has an aspect ratio of 2 to 3 (remember fractions, you have to reduce).  As long as you stay within the same aspect ratio you can enlarge or reduce images and not have to crop.  So a 4x6 can be enlarged to an 8x12, 20x30, or 24x36 without cropping but if you want to enlarge it to 8x10 you'll have to crop.
