Suggested Size MATCHES for Photos Based on Scale

One of the problems people face on a regular basis when is comes to photo enlargements is that their original photo is a different aspect ratio to what they want to print. For instance if you have a digital photo that was taken by your new digital camera, and you want to blow it up to a 20×16 inch print then you will automatically get some cropping. At FinerWorks, my own customers deal with this issue on a regular basis since most digital cameras are formatted for a 6×4 inch print. When they go to print their image in large format, they loose some of the image. Below I have created a chart to help guide people with appropriate enlargement sizes so that no cropping of the image occurs.

Your Photo	3.5 x 5″	4 x 5″	4 x 6″	5 x 7″	8 x 10″
Matching Print Sizes	14 x 20	8 x 10	8 x 12	10 x 14	12 x 15
	21 x 30	12 x 15	10 x 15	15 x 21	16 x 20
	28 x 40	16 x 20	12 x 18	20 x 28	20 x 25
		20 x 25	16 x 24	25 x 35	24 x 30
		24 x 30	18 x 27	30 x 42	28 x 35
		28 x 35	20 x 30		32 x 40
		32 x 40	22 x 33
			24 x 36
			26 x 39
			28 x 42
			30 x 45
			32 x 48

Blue hi-lights indicate stretching & mounting is available for canvas prints. Areas without the blue hi-lights mean prints, if on canvas, cannot be stetched and mounted since they contain dimensions which are not compatible with stretcher frames. Those not compatible would need to be ordered unstretched. Scanning is free for negatives, slides transparencies and photos up to 8.5 x 11.
