Cropping the image to the paper allows use of standard frame sizes with even matting on every edge. -Adam Bob W wrote: > I've never understood this, so maybe somebody could enlighten me.

Of course, you could always buy frames in different shapes. At Ikea, they have a lot of odd (to North America) Euro sizes -- print to those! -Aaron -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Man, you got something against standardization? Next you will be saying it is OK to shoot square images, or something.

I have done this from my first days with inkjet. I bought a Dahl rotary trimmer (cuts up to A3) for fifty quid in 1999 and haven't looked back. One of the best investments I ever made - and still going strong on the original blade!

George Eastman seems to have agreed with you, at least his first roll-film camera shot round images. -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" --- David Mann wrote: > On Aug 17, 2006, at 9:50 AM, graywolf wrote: > >> Next you will be saying it is OK to shoot square images, or something. > > I think we should all shoot round images, to take full advantage of > the lens image circle. > > - Dave > > -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

I print on roll paper. The printer's auto-trimmer attachment takes care of the cutting. It is a pain having to de-curl the paper, but that's something I can live with. - Dave (it's about time I printed some more pans) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
Re: fine art print sizes without cropping (RE: Holy Crap -- Pentax 10MP body
I've found a source for Ilford Galerie Smooth Gloss for about 25% less than I can get it anywhere on line. I print to fit that and find frames and mats to match. But then I'm a Yankee, (read cheap).
