Math completely and totally hurts my head. I have made a chart of measurements to make the photo ratio (the photo I am currently working from) equal to the canvas size. These are random measurements - you can fill in the blanks.
The formula is:
divide the canvas size until you get a measurement that equals or is close to your
photograph size. If it is not equal to the canvas ratio - you must crop/adjust your
photo.
I have provided a few measurements from the standard size canvases I use. If your photo does not meet these measurements, continue dividing until you are close. Adjust the photo. If the decimal is larger than .5 then round to the nearest #. In other words 5.6" rounded off would be 6".
