hiya...i m doing a report,therefore need this info.We always see photo size stating 4R,5R,6R and so on...anyone gt any idea wat does tt 'R' stand for?or rather wat does '4R' stand for?
Thnks alot!
Thnks alot!
no la...i think wat he meant was, why issit called 4R in the 1st place and not 4T or 4S or 4F.... wat exactly does the "R" means?
4R rectangle
4S square
Standard photographic print sizes are usually defined with nR where the n represents the length of the shorter side in inches.
Hmm... I didn't know that...
Then what what about A3, A4 etc??? The "A" stands for?? :think:
4R, I believe it is come from 4 Reproduction.
It is 4 x size of negative 35mm film (H:36mm x V:24mm) ==> H:144mm x V:96mm.

there is also the the advise given by Fujifilm when we develop that it'll be cropped 4R for digital and non digital, why so?

sounds reasonable, 4x magnification or reproduction of 35mm negative results in something slightly smaller than the paper, ie. allowing for the frame the hold the paper down during exposure. 4R is 4inch x 6 inch, in mm this is 101.6 x 152.4mm so a 4x magnified 35mm negative is a bit smaller.
No, saying that 4R is just 4x the 35mm negative size is incorrect. The numbers are totally off (even the aspect ratio is totally different when you look at the other print sizes). A 5R print is 5inch x 7inch - totally different size and aspect ratio when compared to 5x the 35mm negative size.
In the good old day, they use Reproduction ratio like 1R, 2R to enlarge the negative. But, they must follow the available photo paper, which photo paper manufacturer use inch as a standard, so reproduction/enlargement can not precise 4R or 5R, use 'agak-agak'. So the 4R become something like 4 inch on the height size.No, saying that 4R is just 4x the 35mm negative size is incorrect. The numbers are totally off (even the aspect ratio is totally different when you look at the other print sizes). A 5R print is 5inch x 7inch - totally different size and aspect ratio when compared to 5x the 35mm negative size.
