Important Information

Digital cameras take photos of a different length to height ratio compared to that of traditional film cameras.
Traditional film cameras take photos that fit a 3:2 print ratio. Typically 6x4inch or 10x15cm. Digital cameras on the other hand, take photos that fit a 4:3 ratio originally conceptualised from your computer monitor (640x480, 800x600). A 4:3 ratio does not fit standard traditional film print sizes. A print from a digital camera will be 6x4.5" or 11.5x15cm.
The most obvious problem is that a 6x4.5" photo will not fit into a photo album pocket designed for 6x4" prints.
To overcome this, we can print your photo onto a 6x4" piece of paper (commonly, in the digital imaging industry, known as a canvas).
We can print your image fully to the 6x4" canvas but this will crop the top & bottom of your image.
We can print the full frame to the centre of the 6x4 canvas by using only 5x3.75" on the canvas, thus producing white borders. Or the most popular solution is to print to a 4x5.5" canvas. (no borders)
