Image Size |
Images will be proportionally sized to fill standard print sizes, which means excess image portions may require cropping. Please inform us of any unique image sizes so we may print them without cropping. |

Digital Camera Files |
Many digital cameras use an image size of 4x5.4. When printing digital photos, please choose this size rather than 4x6 to avoid image loss and cropping. |
