I have checked all the major manufacturers of photo paper - Kodak, HP,
Canon, Fuji etc. As far as I can see, noone provides photo paper in
"digital 4:3" sizes, the so called D-sizes (4D, 5D etc).

Anyone know if quality photo paper is available in "digital" sizes?

Hi,

It should not be too long now.

That is, fairly soon after they complete the range in 3 : 2 format (other
than 6 inch x 4 inch).

These "Film Sizes" are a touch more common and have been around just a
little bit longer than the 4:3 Digital size.

So don't hold your breath waiting. Just carry on croppping to match the
paper.

Or invest in a paper cutter.

I suggest a paper cutter.

Keep in mind there are a number of issues.

* Paper starts off in standard sizes. It is not hard to cut those sizes
down to ½ of the original size, but if you want it 52% of the original size,
you waste a lot of paper.

* I don't believe that all digital cameras have the same ratios.

* There is a whole industry supplying frames etc based on current standard
sizes.

* Commercial automated equipment has standard sizes and they are not
likely to change over night.

* Borders - Some people like borders. As soon as you add a border, then
you need a new paper size to keep even boarders and the same size ratio. In
fact you need a different paper size for each border width.

* History tells us that it is not likely to happen. Look around, 35mm was
a common size film for many years. I don't believe anyone produced paper
based on that specific ratio. They kept the same old standards which were
the sizes that were conveniently cut from standard raw paper width.

The closest 'regular' paper sizes are the A (A4 = 297x210mm) and B
series. All have an aspect of 1:1.41 - very close to the 1:1.33 digital.
Most printers are designed for these formats too.
