Quick Question on cropping

brokenarms

What setting do I use in camera raw when using the cropping tool.

I want to print to 8X12 or 8x10 . The last time I did this I had to cut loads of my photo to fit the frame. Or the photo developer had to clip the crop I made.

I was looking at the Image Constraints on the crop setting.


Which one works for the sizes I want to print?

2-3 for 8 x 12 and 4-5 for 8 x 10

2-3 is the native ratio on full frame - it's used for everything from 4 x 6" up to 12 x 18" (A3)

8x12 is 2 to 3, 8x10 is 4 to 5. Ratio is the same.

-edit-
woops, snap.

Where do we find these settings?

On camera? (Nikon D300S) or Lightroom/Apature?

It should be somewhere on your processing software.
the setting you see in my post are on Photoshop camera raw but are also available in Photoshop.
