Fit an image aspect ratio into a print frame and see the letterbox or crop needed.
The image is scaled to fit inside the print frame, leaving bare margins on the axis that does not fill, which can instead be cropped. Knowing the fit before ordering a print avoids surprise crops and lets you choose between matted margins or cropping to the frame.
