    Hi,

    Taking photos on my Samsung Galaxy S8 seems to cause cropping issues when trying to print standard 6x4 photos.

    The ratio options are 4:3, 16:9, Full (18.5:9) or 1:1.

    What would be the best setting to avoid any cropping ? I'm sorry if this is a ridiculously basic question :)

    Thanks for any info.

    6x4 is going to be cropped regardless. Your best bet is to use 4:3 and just keep in mind that a small bit top/bottom of the image will be removed when printing.

    The S8 is fairly wide, get in the habit of stepping back that extra bit if possible to frame your shots wider than necessary then manually crop to 6:4 in your editor of choice before printing. You will lose a small bit of resolution but on small prints it shouldn't really matter.
