Judy, it don't work- what if it's from a 35mm neg? The "industry standard"
I've been in too many shows (not to toot my own horn(grin)) and I am sure of
this, as far as galleries, collectors etc. are concerned the image size is
the image size anything outside the image is a border. You could say size
includes brush strokes or any of the other things but image size does in
fact deal with the size of the photographic image only not the extras we
apply to it.
