    Could someone clarify something for me?  I still want to crop my images on my computer to create the best composition, right?  Cropping as this wiki is stating is more for resizing...

    I'm confused...

      Hey Ryan,

      Yes you do, but it's very very important to always keep crop GENEROUSLY, and compensate for any number of print sizes that will be ordered, and further cropped in the shopping cart.  For example, a portrait orientation image cropped to 4x6 should leave PLENTY of head and foot room, because if an 8x10 is ordered, you'll lose a significant amount from the top and bottom.  4x6->8x10 are usually the common extremes, so after you crop to 4x6 (which is native to most cameras) overlay an 8x10 crop box to see how it would print if an 8x10 were ordered, and don't forget bleed-trim http://www.smugmug.com/help/bleed-trim , and a nice frame obscuring a bit.
