So much #4. I actually had a cuometsr in my store today, printing his photos from Europe, lamenting a beer bottle sitting on a statue in a picture he really wanted to print. but then, I also couldn't explain to this guy what aspect ratios were and why the picture he had edited into a square wouldn't print properly onto a 4 6.
Thanks for the nice tutorial :)
