Why do you think a 8x6 print is only 'historical', but not big enough anymore? Maybe your problem with the size is just a reflection of the number of visitors of the show. Clearly, the bigger the easier to see. For 8x6 you may have to stand in line and may just be able to have a quick look (until you get pushed aside). Circumstances aside I think smaller pictures demand more concentration. You might be surprised how small the 'Mona Lisa' actually is. Generally, I think that very often size is mistaken for content. More, I feel all formats look best at around tenfold linear enlargement (regardless of grain, sharpness...). Christian - -- click before it is too late Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net
