Certain publishing formats, such as websites, may benefit from images that are particularly edited to suit a graphics theme. As most websites are created for the typical laptop screen, this means that a landscape or 16:9 format is targeted. Since initial photos can have any resolution and aspect ratio, simple editing may be required prior to publishing. Most editing software can superimpose a freely movable, white edged cropping area on the original image that can be moved freely, showing visual cues that help decide which crop is most suitable. After applying the process, a resulting image is created. | Certain publishing formats, such as websites, may benefit from images that are particularly edited to suit a graphics theme.

Transforming an image from one ratio to another is not straightforward and, actually, distorts the picture. Since you cannot do otherwise than stretch the image or compress it to reach the new format, results will be poor with simple approaches of just specifying a new resolution that fits your requirements and respects the aspect ratio you target. The best approach is to use semi-automated means of cropping the picture with an imaginary rectangle, selecting what should be preserved of the original photography. In this way, no distortions are created. | |||
<code>''Nowadays, 16:9, or the widescreen format is the most popular one but keep in mind that anything else but a TV, most display, projectors, require a different aspect ratio. Sometimes your platform will adjust your image, at other times you have to process the image yourself. It is advisable to experiment with different aspect ratios.''</code> | |||
