JL,
I think we have major problems of missunderstandings!!
1. I wasn't looking for a standardized print but for screen captures.
2. the european passport size of 35x45mm was a good example as it fitted
best in Leacy.
3. using a proportion 7/9 could fit to 35/45mm but why should I need
everytime a calculator
to check if it fits depending on the no. of pixels.
4. I never said I wanted to print a picture as 34x45mm but just save it in
that size.
Legacy prints what it has and this size seems to fit very well.

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.
