Works OK if you're doing one-of-a-kind things: commercial, industrial, advertising, etc., it's relatively trivial working with a few photographs that make the final cut.

I'll take you up on your offer about some pros thinking differently or perhaps thinking differently about other types of professional work. For stuff that demands hundreds of photographs at a whack, it's no longer trivial. It has to fit standard album print sizes. Also not trivial for larger prints being delivered to the average consumer . . . the overwhelming majority want to buy the cheapest 8x10, 11x14 or 16x20 standard size frame at ???-Mart, stuff the portrait into it, and nail it to the wall or put it on the mantle over the fireplace. Mounting??? Matting??? Who said anything about proper mounting and matting to protect the print? That costs more $$.

Negativity emerging again. Wife reminded me last night that at least half the weddings I'm doing will result in their precious photographs being burned five years or less after they're delivered. Divorce rate around here is pretty high. Makes her wonder why people bother to spend BIG $$$ on weddings. Doesn't change how they feel about anything amiss with the pix a week after the honeymoon though.

I don't know how anyone else does it but I crop the picture the way I
like it. I don't even think about the size,  paper is such a minimal
cost. Of course pros and processors may think differently :>)
