garimo,
If I see a web image and image size dimensions, I assume the area depicted
by the web image shows the real world space of the dimensions listed unless
there is a note indicating otherwise. In other words, I assume what I see
inside the web image border is the image size listed whether the web image
includes the entire object or a detail. However, once again, from this
discussion we learn the obvious isn't obvious in the same way to everybody.
Perhaps a footnote is advisable. If you list film size, the information
could be confusing unless you note "film size" or "negative size." Suppose
you put a blue line around the thumbnails. The image size note might say,
"Includes area within the blue rectangle."
What information? I want to know how big the actual print may be, who did
it, when, what type of print as a minimum.
