WHY should the user be limited to a 4" x 6" print? I may want to make 40" x 60" displays
... or maybe even larger.


Read my comments in the context of the
preceding thread.

4x6" just happens to be the lowest common
denominator (if not 3x5") for the prints that
consumers generally expect.

If you're making 40" x 60" displays you're in
a different league and my comments don't
apply to you. (Nor me, I can never get
enough pixels.)
