Always shoot your images at the highest resolution your camera supports If you do the math, you will see that the image ratio for a 4x6m 5x7 and 8x10 are different. DSLR's have sensors with 3:2 ratio, which means they can be printed 4x6 inches without any loss of the image as shot. Other size prints will automatically be cropped at the lab unless you crop them ahead of time. Most P&S cameras have a sensor that is 4:3 ratio, so some cropping is necessary when printing those size prints. Just remember to rename the file each time you crop to a certain print size ... I add 46, 57 and 810 to the end of each file so you do not overwrite the original.<br><b>References : </b><br>digiPro No 8 mp is not too high.

Just remember to rename the file each time you crop to a certain print size … I add 46, 57 and 810 to the end of each file so you do not overwrite the original.
