    Full frame or crop?

    Who crops?

    I know people who crop religiously, always seeing a better picture inside the one they captured, and others who feel that if it's not a good picture straight from the camera, then it's a bad picture.

    I tend not to, but only 'cause I have a hard time picking a better picture out of a bad picture....I think it's something you have to work on to develop, something I've never tried to do. There's something nice about a picture being good at 100%, but if I felt that way, then I should really never edit my pictures at all.....and that's not really ever going to happen.

    Plus, I'm lazy, and if there are at least five shots that I'm relatively happy with, then I can't usually be arsed to play around with cropping....

    What about you?

    I need to spend some time post-processing my photos. I tend to shot, download, sort, and then forget about them without doing anything at all with them.

    Not done a thing with the 1700 i took in the US. i never quite get round to it.

    Yeah, I know that feeling....my first 7000 or so shots are languishing on my hard drives just begging to be edited, but when I think that there aren't that many good ones in there, on top of them being JPG rather than RAW, I just can't face them.

    100% here too 99% of the time. I'll only ever crop if I need to straighten a horizon or something.

    Please, Don't ask for that one 'as a desktop'...its really not worth wasting your time asking, unless you're able to pay £££?
