Hey..I've run into a problem. 8x10 is the wide and popular standard for frame sizes, but it just isn't the right aspect ratio. Why is it that 8x12 isn't the standard? I'm going to be selling a bunch of matted (but not framed) prints next weekend and I'm not sure how I should do this. There are a few pictures I absolutely cannot crop and I don't know how likely people would be to buy an 8x12. So...what can I do?
Not the way it is... You have sharpening artefacts over the dark skyline. I have been told but have not been able to verify that you can fix this with the clone tool by cloning very close to the line between light and dark. You wanna select from the light spot and clone it over the dark. The dark part should be unaffected, but the artefact should dissappear.

That's just the web preview. The full size isn't sharpened and I won't sharpen for print. :o
I "float" mine on the next-largest print size (I use titles, but they're optional) -- people either don't mind the little bit of white around it or will cover it with a mat anyway.
So, in this case, it sounds like I'd float a 6x9 image on an 8x10 canvas.

Since you're matting them just make sure the matte size is a standard like 11 x 14 with the cutout to match your photo.
