COMMON QUESTIONS

Useful context, not filler.

What is an aspect ratio?+

It is the proportional relationship between an image's width and height, expressed as numbers such as 4:3, 3:2, or 16:9.

Does resizing change the aspect ratio?+

Not when width and height are scaled proportionally. Changing only one dimension stretches or compresses the image.

Why do some print sizes crop my photo?+

The paper and image may have different aspect ratios. Filling the entire print requires cropping part of the image.
