5×7 Dry Plate | Edges Cropped The beveled edges of the dry plate glass usually looked distorted and sometimes have smudges due to handling. To make a nice print, the edges are generally cropped. The Aperture crop function worked fine while keeping the same 5×7 scale. See 5×7 Dry Plate | a 7 Image Story for a description of all the restoration steps taken for this image.
