IkarusJohn Posted December 16, 2016 Share #41 Posted December 16, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) John, As an example...I just did a fundraiser where I took 75 portraits (head shots) for some of my co-workers. The use for these shots were to add them into the corporate directory and or LinkedIn. Both platforms display the picture as a 1x1 and want you to upload the file as 1x1, or the platform will crop for you which could then cut off parts of the shot if the proper headroom...etc. is not available. By shooting in 1x1 and having this translate directly to LR with no added workflow for export, made this shoot quite easy to produce files in the desired format (aspect ratio) for easy upload. I think the latter is what Neil was interested understanding. Sometimes what Neil understands is ... opaque I understand entirely that the setting pre-crops the raw file. For me, there is no advantage for what I do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Hi IkarusJohn, Take a look here Aspect ratios. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
MT0227 Posted December 16, 2016 Share #42 Posted December 16, 2016 John...it's all good. I just tried to give an example of where it saved me time. I had a requirement to deliver photos in a certain aspect ratio, not native to the SL. Being able to modify and shoot in that ratio, with no added workflow PP, was quite helpful. Sometimes what Neil understands is ... opaque I understand entirely that the setting pre-crops the raw file. For me, there is no advantage for what I do.

Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted December 17, 2016 Share #43 Posted December 17, 2016 Never saw the point. Apart from correcting rotation and some fine cropping to remove distractions and make minor composition improvements, I never crop. I guess the only possible appeal is 1:1, but then the smaller image somehow doesn't appeal. The great thing about using 120mm film for medium format is those fabulous huge negatives. Somehow, cropping a 3:2 digital file doesn't seem the same. But you're right. I forgot that selecting formats carries over the framing in the raw file. John, Just so that I can get my head wrapped around this. When you set the camera to 1 x 1 what you see in the viewfinder is a 1 x 1 image. When you download it its still a 1 x 1 image unless you in lightroom go to the cropping tool and then you'll see the 3 x 2 image ................. is that correct???

Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted December 17, 2016 Share #45 Posted December 17, 2016 Well I'm still struggling. I tried setting my slider on my website to 900 x 600 pixels and the pictures from the SL don't fit. WTF am I doing wrong?? GOOGLE a frigging lifeline :) I'm going to be quite now :) Welcome, dear visitor!

ramarren Posted December 17, 2016 Share #46 Posted December 17, 2016 I love Norton, Triumph and Ducati. But also great owning 2 Harleys.....one in New Mexico, taking it into Southern Colorado through winding unfenced mountain passes to Durango/Silverton and up to 13,000 feet in frigid weather through Telluride and back down through the heat of Mesa Verde. And another bike kept in Nevada and used to cruise around Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, etc. Great times....and lots of nice fellow riders. I started with a Triumph in 1975, went to a Norton, then a Moto Guzzi, side-tripped to a Honda, then found Ducatis. I rode Ducatis from 1977 to 2003. About 1995, I got back into Moto Guzzis and ended with them in 2006 (a highly personalized '75 850T and a carefully fettled but otherwise stock '89 LeMans Mark V). I rode somewhere around a half-million miles in that thirty years on those bikes. Of them all, I loved the original Ducati 750GT and the Moto Guzzi LeMans V the most, but the others were all wonderful bikes too. My older brother was a Harley-Davidson nutcase as a youth, but when he started riding it was Yamaha and Kawasaki that he actually spent his money on. He raced on Yamaha TZ250s also. I had the opportunity to ride a very nicely set up, simple and clean, Harley-Davidson roadster for a week somewhere about the beginning of 2000 or so. It was very different from what I expected and actually a very nice ride: lovely power, good handling, and pretty darn smooth if you didn't push the revs past where it was designed to run. I enjoyed it a lot, but that was right at the end towards when I was getting out of riding ... Otherwise, I would have built one like that. A bike like that would be a great traveler. Good times they were. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

honcho Posted December 17, 2016 Share #52 Posted December 17, 2016 On the aspect ratio thingy..............is the 3 x 2 ratio a Leica thing, or do other vendors use it?? Neil Sometimes you'll see other vendors offer a 3 for 2 deal. Otherwise it's purely Leica. No one else in their right mind would contemplate it.
