Upload Times

cupYour upload time depends on a number of things, including your connection speed, the number of images you are uploading and the size of the images. Times are approximate only. If you are uploading a large number of images, it would be a good time to grab a cup of tea!

Aspect Ratios

Some digital cameras take a squarer photo than your traditional 35mm camera. Therefore not all digital images are suitable to a 4x6" print, which has a 3:2 ratio.

If your camera does not have a 3:2 ratio setting, you should choose the 4x5.25" photo size to avoid cropping of your image.

To find out if your image has the right aspect ratio, go to the properties of the file and view the 'pixel dimensions'. eg. 2048x1536. Divide the large number by the small number. If your answer is 1.5, choose 4x6". If your answer is closer to 1.3, choose 4x5.25" paper.

4x6 aspect 4x5
4x6" 4x5.25"
Aspect Ratio
4x5.25 1.33
4x6 1.5
5x7 1.4
6x8 1.33
8x10 1.25
8x12 1.5
10x15 1.5

Only choose a 4x6" print if your image has a 3:2 aspect ratio, otherwise some cropping of you image may occur, as above, to fill the photo paper.
