The ratio is exactly that - a ratio - of height to width in this case. An it stays the same: 3 / 2.057 = 1.458 4 / 2.742 = 1.458 5 / 3.428 = 1.458 6 / 4.113 = 1.458 7 / 4.799 = 1.458 8 / 5.484 = 1.458 9 / 6.17 = 1.458 10 / 6.855 = 1.458 11 / 7.541 = 1.458 12 / 8.226 = 1.458 14 / 9.597 = 1.458 20 / 13.711 = 1.458 You are talking about the difference which is (and should be) getting proportionally larger as the format increases. If you don't mind me asking, where were you when fractions were discussed in math class? Regards, Lars -- .~.
