However, cropping is part and parcel of photography unless one is shooting rocks, ferns and peeling paint while using an SLR type camera. In this case they can take their time, a week or longer, ;-) for compositon in the view finder to avoid cropping whatsoever. Then in 1/100th of a second capture the image with no fear of cropping. But in the real world of life, moving and living, it's almost, note I said, "almost impossible" to shoot and then not have to crop at times. Even to nick a bit off an edge, top, bottom or side for a tiny bit of improvement. And I never have a problem with cropping as I figure it's all part of the picture taking, print making procedure. ted
