The first step is to determine the image aspect ratio factor.
Simply divide the larger number by the smaller number to get a factor.
Example – 3888 divided by 2592 = 1.5 (image aspect ratio factor)
The next step is to consider a size you may want for either the short side
or long side of the photo.
If using the photo short side considering a size of 20 inches, just multiply this 20 inches
by the aspect ratio factor to determine the long side dimension.
If using the photo long side considering a size of 30 inches, just divide this 30 inches
by the aspect ratio factor to determine the short side dimension.
Examples of determining print sizes:
Example one:
Digital photo pixel dimensions – 3888 x 2592
3888 divided by 2592 – Aspect ratio factor = 1.5
Considering a photo short side of 22 inches
22 inches multiplied by 1.5 = 33 inches
Overall print size = 22 inches x 33 inches
45 inches divided by 1.5 = 30 inches
Overall print size = 30 inches x 45 inches
Example two:
Digital photo pixel dimensions – 2816 x 2112
2816 divided by 2112 – Aspect ratio factor = 1.3333
Considering a photo short side of 18 inches
18 inches multiplied by 1.3333 = 24 inches (rounded to even dimension)
Overall print size = 18 inches x 24 inches
40 inches divided by 1.3333 = 30 inches (rounded to even dimension)
Overall print size = 30 inches x 40 inches
Example three:
Digital photo pixel dimensions – 3648 x 2046
3648 divided by 2046 – Aspect ratio factor = 1.783
Considering a photo short side of 28 inches
28 inches multiplied by 1.783 = 50 inches (rounded to even dimension)
Overal print size = 28 inches x 50 inches
32 inches divided by 1.783 = 18 inches (rounded to even dimension)
Overall print size = 18 inches x 32 inches
With this simple method of determining print sizes for photo enlargements
using only the pixel dimensions of a digital photo, you can see what the
best prints sizes would be for your digital photos before selecting a size to order.
