OK so My images I have been shooting of stage shows have all been used on the back end of a DVD as a set of production shots or a section on the DVD for stills. With that use my full frame or any size of crop has been used in the post process to prep for video (HD) and within that frame I can show any size image with any crop ratio....so never been constrained to any size. For the odd print for myself I just get the nearest and trim. The other delivery method has been photo-book which of course does not demand a certain crop, I can place my custom cropped image anywhere on the page and as I compose the book I can rescale the shot to fit the space without compromising the original crop....
I now find myself in the position of people wanting the shots originally shot for the video but in print.......I am using LR5 and have just gone through a bunch of images to apply a 3:2 crop for use with 9x6 prints and I am compromised at almost all my images - some very wide ones with all the dancers on are not going to work at all......
As I see it as I have not shot for standard size print, I am going to find this a little difficult to give people prints they can see in full on screen in print without a bespoke print for each one, apart from the ones that will be ok in a 6x9 frame, which there are a fair few.....
Its hard to fill a full frame when you have stage at the bottom and lighting rig and low top curtains on stages........
