Not everybody approved of bottled beer. Thomas Tryon, author of one of the earliest books on brewing, A New Art of Brewing Beere, wrote in 1691: âIt is a great custom and general fashion nowadays to bottle ale; but the same was never invented by any true naturalist that understood the inside of things.
Since the different types of paper size can easily become nearly as confusing as paper weight, we wanted to gather all the sizes in one place. In our book printing world we express paper dimensions in inches because we work with both non-standard and standard size books. 5.5 x 8, 7 x 10, 8.5 x 11 are all common book printing sizes, but since we can produce books of any size, itâs easier to stick with inches rather than only working with standard paper sizes.
For ordinary photo editing, this is all right. But the ratios for other print sizes are not the same. Used incorrectly, the image will be cropped. For example, print photo sizes measuring 5 x 7 or 8 x 10 have different ratios from the 4 x 6. The 5 x 7 ratio is 3.5:2.5. This means the long size is 1.4 x the short side. The 8 x 10 has a ratio of 5:4. This means the long side is 1.25 times longer than the short one.
