Well, for this show, I wanted to make a 10 x 13 inch print to make full use of a frame that I bought. That frame had an 8 x 10 inch mat inside it but I did not need the mat so I used the entire picture frame and I removeed the mat. I had to resize the pic in PS from the 16.4 x 10.8 inch original NEF. I did not want to alter the dimensions of the original NEF but I did to make the jpg fit the frame.
Also, I wanted to make a different pic 5 x 7 inch to fit another mat that I had. That meant I had to alter the dimensions in PS from the 16.4 x 10.8 inch original NEF. That is something I did not want to do because I shot it the way I wanted it to look. Basically, I had to crop to the exact size I wanted.
I am not a numbers guy and I have made prints before but I wanted exact sizes for these, I wanted to keep the quality and I wanted the entire picture to look as I shot it. Somehow, I did not realize that the camera was giving me such an original size as 16.4 x 10.8. I am wondering how NIkon came up with this size? I am jealous of the Canon guy who puts out 4 x 5\'s for his personal work. That is a numer I understand.
