Re: Why and How I switched to Canon (for those who care) long

[Paul Stenquist]

13" x19" is super B sized paper for ink jet printing. I actually print 
at about 12.5" x 18.2" and leave a border. That's approximately full 
frame on an *istD image. If you look at portfolio sizes available in 
your camera store, you'll probably see some 13"x 19" books. It's 
becoming a standard for large digital prints.

Shoot RAW with your *istD and convert in PSCS at the highest 
interpolation setting. This will give you a 6144 by 4101 pixel count. 
If you do a good conversion of a good shot, it will print better on 
13 x19 than anything you can get from film. I've done numerous 
comparisons. I know that to be a fact.

Please explain "13 X 19."
I'm pretty sure Ramesh didn't actually mean "feet" as his message 
said...

Anyhow, that's a new size/ratio to me, and I can't seem to retrieve 
it's meaning.
Is that centimeters? Something equivalent to 5 X 7" print size?

Thanks,  keith whaley
