I think the 8x10 print is based largely on the way most photos used to be taken, in a studio with a 4x5 view camera.
You can get 8x12 prints (e.g. at Costco). The main problem is that almost all digital cameras are based on a video standard 4:3 ratio, which doesn't fit any standard-sized prints, so almost every digital image will require cropping somewhere. |
