Morning all (in UK time anyway!)

I'm not sure if this is the right area of the forums to post this question, so apols in advance if it's not....

To date, my freelance work has been through a picture agency, so obviously the library has managed my print output and sales. I would like to move to selling more 'fine art' prints via my own website, so am going through the motions of creating the site/selecting images etc.

I could do with some advice re how to manage the 'size' of print that I offer to customers. For example, if I offer 'standard' sizes, such as 10 x 8" and upwards, then clearly not all of my images will fit into this ratio, given the fact that they have been cropped etc from the original. I think this leaves me with the following options?

* State the exact print size that each individual image is available in (this would be fairly resource intensive as I would need to figure this out for each image and update text in the site/pricing etc on an image by image basis)
* Offer 'small, medium and large' print prices and state the actual sizes of the print on the page with the image (better than above as only 3 prices, but still need to figure out the exact sizes that would correspond to S/M/L for each image)
* Use standard sizes and include a caveat that images will come with a small white border (less work, but customer will not know exact size of the actual image until it arrives.


Does anyone have any advice re simplifying this issue so that I am offering consistent sizes acorss the site, but within the constraints of the aspect ratio of my images?

Many thanks in advance for any comments,

Simon
