Cropping & Retouching

See the images below to better understand cropping formats. If you
desire a tighter crop on any images such as cropping a full length image of someone to more
of a bust portrait, send me an email describing what you want and I will work with you to
get what you desire.

First let us look at crop ratios.

Please be aware that I take all of these issues into account when I take photographs.
You need not worry with this generally. I simply offer this information so that you may better
understand all options. I will usually contact someone if I am in doubt of what they want. However
it is always better to ask before you order.

The first image is cropped for 8x10. The second image is cropped for 5x7.
As you can see the 8x10 is a wider format than the 5x7. this can be important when
dealing with a image that fills most of the original viewing area.



Tighter crop on a image you see in the gallery

If you would like me to crop an image tighter than what you see in the gallery
just send me a request via email before you order and I will work with you.

If you choose to order a "Photo Button" or other square or circular crop, the image
at the top of the page would have to be cropped like these.

Photo Buttons:
This or this

Square Crop:

Simple Retouching (Availible at extra cost.Contact me for a quote)

Sometimes a little simple retouching can take care of the little things that hurt
a picture. This is an example of cleaning up the things that detract from the subject. It is
always best to avoid these problems prior to taking the photo if you can. Notice the driveway
and strreet in the background have been removed and the grass has been cleaned up.
