However, I saved it in PS and then looked at the image size, and it is not 4x6. It is about 1.6 x 2.5 inches. Aside from that size issue, that is exactly what I was looking for. I shoot C41 on Hasselblad and scan the negatives on an Epson 4871 and then have lightjet prints made, either 25x25 or 30x30. They look very good (and sell through a gallery in Minneapolis) and your crop from an M8 image looks as good as what I get from the Hasselblad. But what does the image size discrepancy mean?
