Continuity is nice! I'm lazy! Hate to have to put them back where they were again to get my black borders. And I love that darn 2x3 format! >>> I'm with Mark. The conundrum: let's say you are going to print a show of, say, 30 photographs. 28 of them work as full-frame 2x3 proportion images, so you print them that way. Two need cropping, which will change the aspect ratio. Do you do it? Make 'em stick out like sore thumbs? I say that's worse than having a little extraneous image information in one or two frames. My whole problem with cropping is that if you decide to do it, you're equally committed to doing it regularly, to retain the consistency Mark's talking about. Then again, Bob McEowen knows what he's doing too. To each his own. - --Mike
