I'm so pleased you don't want to be part of this crazy stock industry 
demanding extreme quality and sizes for re-production purposes. Besides as

industry are worthless. 

Yep we all stand by the "what counts mantra..."  
>>What counts is the image and its content and its technical 
>>excellence......<<<
