[qqmeng]

i was having a discussion with my friend one day.

so i told him tht lots of my photos R4 size photo are cropped and he look disgusted and told me tht he won't do tht.

is there anything wrong if i were to crop a photo... well after all the biggest is bout R8. i dun see anything wrong there.... or should i? :rolleyes:

Nothing wrong with cropping.

And if he prints out any of his pics from a digital cam they are ALL cropped, because the paper size is a different ratio to the file captured.

Nothing wrong with cropping.

Nothing wrong if there's a need for it :D

well.... can i say tht bigger MP camera is better? as it gives you rooms...lotsa room to crop.. :D.

just imagine if we hv 40MP camera. it will make composition from the view finder useless aint it? :D

No doubt bigger MP of coz a nice feature. But I feel it's not good to depend on that too much or to use it as an excuse, as it won't help in your quest of improving your photography (not photochopping) skills. Try to nail the composition right on camera.

Thanks for bringing this subject up. I'm glad that there should be nothing wrong with cropping what with my constant bungling of composition and/or framing. hehe
