    In addition, a white frame left and right allows a portrait image to be shown in full aspect ratio. Instagram displays portraits at 1080 x 1350 pixels, 4:5 aspect ratio. Which is fine on a crop sensor camera, but full frame images are 2:3, 4x6 etc.

    So for full frame images, a white frame allows you to display the full image. Or at least, that’s partly why I do it. The separation is a thing too.
