Hi folks
i was just curious as to how much of a crop you get away with on an image, for instance i took a photo of a couple of curlews today on the beach, got home went to process image and the birds were relativly small and distant within the picture, i took a crop at 800x600 just around the birds and was quite suprised at the qualiity and detail of the cropped image, it just got me thinking of how much can you get away with i.e area to crop from within an image.
Hope that makes sense, probably simple maths to work it out and something i should have known years ago.
