This isn't technically the best pic I could've taken but I love the feeling it exudes (she's an incredibly brave, smart and caring woman going through a tough time).

My problem is that I like the crop of the 4x6 but I want it BIGGER. Any suggestions?

OOC...


4x6 crop (I absolutely love this image)...


8x10 crop (it's bigger, but not the crop I want)...

I do like the 4x6 better but the 8x10 is ok. Are you needing it for something?
Lucky Red Hen
Nothing specific, just to print and display in my office. 8x10 is OK, but I don't want "okay" if I can help it LOL.

10x15, 20x30, 8x12

no one says you have to print an 8x10 ratio.
Lynn Squier
Print it as an 8x12. It would be bigger, but the same crop as a 4x6. Also, 10x15, 6x9 and 20x30 are the same crop as a 4x6.

I would crop to make square, boost the contrast and saturation and I think it could work.

This was quick and with a low res file, but hopefully you get the idea smile.gif I think you could go bigger smile.gif If need be use noise ninja smile.gif I think 10x10 would be a nice size smile.gif

Good point... but 8x10 are the easiest size to find pre-made frames. What do you do for framing; custom?

Thanks, Lynn, for the conversions. I suppose I could've done the math LOL laughing.gif

Thanks for the quickie! I wanted to crop the daughter out though because that part of the picture doesn't appeal to me wink.gif

oops, ok, I am blonde. I see what you are saying now smile.gif I am not a huge cropper outside of camera smile.gif

If you do crop, I would still go square.

I use www.frameusa.com for my frames smile.gif
