Most people know that photos can be printed in a variety of sizes such as 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10 to name a few.
What may not be widely known is that not all file sizes have the same ratio which means when they are resized, portions of the photo may be lost.
The following provides an example of what happens to a 4x4 (square) photo when it is resized to a 4x6 (rectangle). The square format was a typical size for photos printed prior to the mid 1970s.
As you can see, the "portrait" version has parts of the left and right sides removed. The "landscape" version loses parts along the top and bottom.
Some photo labs still offer square photo printing.
Watch for our next post about more photo size differences.
