December 12, 2006

Most photojournalists have started tagging their photos with IPTC metadata to aid in copyrighting and indexing their massive collection of images.

Understanding Print Sizes, Cropping, and Aspect Ratios When Ordering Photographic Prints
The emotion of a photograph, and the story that image portrays, can change dramatically depending on its aspect ratio, or how it’s been cropped.
