Digital Prints

Another problem for photographers is that the aspect ratio of common film sizes (35mm
and 4 × 5) does not match up to the proportions of all standard frames. The photographer
is then faced with a choice: either crop the image (unacceptable by many photographers),
or have unequal borders that maintain the integrity of the full-frame image. Most
opt to live with unequal borders (or they make custom frames to fit).
