I don't understand but that's OK. 35mm x 45mm is a proportion of 35/45 or 7/9.
I've never had a problem with Legacy except to do with consistent proportions. If they're not consistent, the charts print out with photos different shapes, so I picked my standard: 1/1.618 which I put into my cropping program and that's what comes out. That has nothing to do with pixels. It depends on the overall size of the photo. It's just a proportion. Re-sizing will bring it down to exact pixels, although that's not required in Legacy as it seems to set the dimensions automatically. If you're wanting to print at exactly 35mm x 45mm that's something else. I don't think Legacy will do that anyway as it gives the options, as you said, of small, medium and large. And not being a beer drinker (yuck!) I totally missed that connection.
