I Want To Print a 16 x 20 Photo

Not just cropping for different frame sizes, but maybe cropping out distractions. Like if someone's face is just visible on the edge of a frame, cropping them out while maintaining a 4:5 size ratio may improve the image. Then after cropping that bit off the side and top set your print size :)


Ahhh. I see. Hehe well there's nothing I don't like about this picture :)

I got it printed, and it looks amazing. Thank you all for your help.

Here's the photo I printed.

You might want to investigate Cokin's graduated filters if you plan on doing much outdoor photography. Here's a link:

COKIN Creative System - Filters A/P/Z/X - Graduated Filters - Graduated Filter Details

They don't cost much and their system is very versatile.

Ah - yes, I have read a little about graduated filters ... they are fairly expensive if I remember correctly. Someday I'll be able to afford some more photography equipment. For now I just have to go with what I have and be happy with that :). Thank you for the link!
 
Well since this is a digital forum, fake the ND grad filter.

Set your camera on a tripod, take two pictures, one brighter than the other. Open them in photoshop, paste on one the other as a new layer, and apply a gradient mask to the top image so it fades into the bottom.

Works for everything except moving subjects.
