IRmap & LC : outpout size resolution relation

thanks,
and what about a different ratio format. For example, IR &LC done using a 1600x 1600 pixel outpout but final pass using a 1600x 900 pixel? Often, do speed up the process, some outpout are done at the biggest common image outpout then crop later in photoshop. But of course that means that some image got a lot of area calculated for nothing (most of the time it is the background)
