Why does Instagram ruin the quality of anything besides aspect ratio? submitted by /u/Jonbobo

Cropping stuff that was in a 4:3 aspect ratio to 16:9 ruins it I mean, in tv shows, movies, anime etc that were in a 4:3 aspect ratio all the important info was on screen, but when cropping them to 16:9 there is info that is lost (dunno if I explained myself well). (I couldnt find a fitting sub for this) submitted by /u/Xdqwerty65

Instagram Alternative Aspect Ratios? I only see mentions about 4:5, 1:1, and 1.91:1. But doesn’t Instagram also support 3:2 or at least 16:9 on posts? What are the pixel counts allowed on those? I don’t see any online posts about it but I clearly am able to post 3:2 photos without any issue. submitted by /u/BigBrainPolitics_

Thoughts on non-standard aspect ratios? When I first started with photography (hobbyist), I would frequently freeform crop photos. Sometimes square-ish, Often very wide for landscapes, etc… As I observed other peoples work, it became clear to me that most photographers keep their work at the default 3:2 ratio… so I started doing the same. Now it feels like a sin to do anything otherwi…

How to film on camera with correct aspect ratio for reels/tiktok I’ve been filming content for a restaurant on my iPhone for a while but want to create higher quality videos with a camera. My main question is can you film on a camera with 9:16 aspect ratio? Or is it better to resize when editing?

Is a 1:1 ratio and blank background the way to go?…

How can I get a “cinematic look” like these photos in Lightroom? (other than aspect ratio and interesting lighting) – Photos by Simon Weaner submitted by /u/GoldenPedro

If so, I need to edit each video I make in 3 different ways. submitted by /u/SolarGaming0421

Printing Aspect Ratio Question (Help!) My local print shop offers 13×9 cm prints. My camera shoots 4:3, but it can artificially crop and shoot lower resolution aspect ratios 16:9, 3:2, 1:1 and 4:5. As far as I can tell none of those fit the 13×9 prints. I just want to print my 4:3 pics as cheap as possible without them being cropped or having a border. Why does the print shop offer s…

Im having the hardest time adjusting to mirrorless. Mainly the focus aspect. For the better part of 15 years Ive shot with a DSLR, using the center point I would focus and recompose. I just upgraded to mirrorless and I kid you not every shot I focus and recompose is completely soft. But when I let it do eye focus tracking/or if I love my focal point to it its sharp as can be. Does anyone know why that would be? Its not m…
