Excuse the newb question, but do you typically resize a cropped image?
If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).
As posted above, it depends on the final use of the image.Excuse the newb question, but do you typically resize a cropped image?
I've read that before. The problem with that article is we can't all afford 500/600mm f4 lenses to make the most of TCs. A 1.4 TC on my 500 5.6 pf would turn it into a f8 AF snail. Additionally, "getting closer" isn't always an option.per Steve................ The Cropping Edipemic.....
That's the reason I try to keep cropping to a minimum............
TBH I get a little uneasy if my cropped image drops below 3.5K on the long side, and I prefer to keep it over 4K.I crop 90% of my bird images for compositional reasons. If my crop results in an image smaller than 2048 long side, I dump the photo. A 2048 crop is then only used on social media. Not good for anything else and I don't upscale at all.
I might keep a "poor" photo for ID purposes - but I'd rather try another time to get a better photo.
