Sizing And Cropping Questions

Hi there, I am confused about the automatic sizing selections that Fine Art America provides after I upload a photo. Do their offered sizes mean those are the sizes that can be made if I don't crop? Or, do I need to ensure that my photo is cropped correctly for the offered sizes? Thanks in advance for help with my question.

They will create the sizes using one standard edge.
Your crop to eliminate junk that should not be printed.
I do find that the section me don't mention is often and odd size but that just helps with frame sales, which you will earn commission on if a premium paid member!

The sizes depend on your pixels. Unlike other sites we never crop or skew images to fit standard sizes, instead allowing the artist free scope to just upload what they have

The only limits we have are that one of your dimensions is going to be forced to fit the following list:

8"
10"
12"
14"
16"
20"
24"
32"
36"
48"

The other dimension will be scaled proportionally to maintain the aspect ratio of your image.

We only need 100 pixels/inch (100ppi) in order to have a nice image for printing. That makes the math easy as well. Your image menu can be viewed as a pixels/inch ratio, and you can see how many inches wide by tall your image is. ie 10000 would be 100" 1000 would be 10"
