Straight out of the camera, a digital image is typically recorded in a 2 x 3 ratio, and can therefore be printed as 4 x 6, or any multiple thereof, without any modification. However, printing to any other ratio, such as 5x7 or 8x10, will obviously require some cropping of the photo to the appropriate dimensions. But cropping is not just for print preparation. The Crop Tool is actually the single most effective tool in your post-processing arsenal for altering the overall look of your images. A little bit of cropping can completely change the composition of a photo, and even provide several very different looks from a single image.
Experiment with different shapes, sizes, angles and compositions. Try non-standard ratios, like 1x1 or 16x9. You may even find that you can give an old photo a brand new look!
