About this deal

This is one of the most asked questions at my photography studio. People generally get confused by photo print sizes and finishes.

The centimeter (symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the metric system. It is also the base unit in the centimeter-gram-second system of units. The centimeter practical unit of length for many everyday measurements. A centimeter is equal to 0.01 (or 1E-2) meter. Definition of inchCurrent use: The inch is mostly used in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. It is also sometimes used in Japan (as well as other countries) in relation to electronic parts, like the size of display screens. Centimeter

I’m a professional photographer and deal with printing and framing services pretty much on a daily basis. So I hope this article will help you to understand UK imperial sizes for photo printing a bit better. I will share tips on framing and printing as well. Could not find a real ruler on your desktop ? try this virtual screen ruler. Length Unit ConvertersEven in the twentieth century various definitions of the inch were still applied around the world, although these differed by less than 0.001%. In 1930 the British Standards Institution adopted an inch of exactly 25.4 mm, with the American Standards Association doing likewise in 1933, and the first country to legally adopt this definition was Canada in 1951. There are standard print sizes which are very common, like 6×4”, 7×5”, 10×8”. Those would be your standard tabletop photos for the UK frames sizes. If you are looking for wall frames then you would be considering 12×8”, 12×16”, 20×16 and 20×24 to be your most common frame sizes. Below is the chart with the most common sizes from inches to centimetres. Standard photo sizes in inches I always recommend printing photos in matt finish or sometimes it is called lustre finish. Photos will not scratch so easily and colours won’t fade as well. Gloss prints do have more punch in colours tho. So again personal preference here.

The large unnumbered line that is halfway between them is 1/2 inch. The smaller (but still prominent) line between the 1/2 mark and the numbered inch line is 1/4 inch. The tiny little lines between all of the more prominent lines are 1/16 inch. History/origin: Prior to standardization of units of measurement, and the definition of the foot currently in use, the measurement of the foot was used in many different systems including the Greek, Roman, English, Chinese, and French systems, varying in length between each. The various lengths were due to parts of the human body historically being used as a basis for units of length (such as the cubit, hand, span, digit, and many others, sometimes referred to as anthropic units). This resulted in the measurement of a foot varying between 250 mm and 335 mm in the past compared to the current definition of 304.8 mm. While the United States is one of the few, if not only, countries in which the foot is still widely used, many countries used their own version of the foot prior to metrication, as evidenced by a fairly large list of obsolete feet measurements. Definition: A centimeter (symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), the current form of the metric system. It is defined as 1/100 meters. Converting from inches to centimeters is a common task in many fields, including engineering, construction, and design. The inch is a unit of length commonly used in the United States, while the centimeter is the standard unit of length in the metric system. To convert inches to centimeters, a simple multiplication by a conversion factor is required.

Metric and imperial units

Observe the much simpler metric rulers. The distance between any two large numbered lines is 1 cm, a metric ruler features two types of lines. The largest mark centimeters, or cm. The smallest lines mark millimeters, or mm. Definition: A foot (symbol: ft) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. A foot was defined as exactly 0.3048 meters in 1959. One foot contains 12 inches, and one yard is comprised of three feet. Looking for the right sized paper or card? Our easy to use size guide will help you chose the perfect sized paper and card for your needs. The below size chart will help you understand the size you require for your latest project or creation. Standard Paper and Card Sizes An inch is the name of a unit of length in a number of different systems, including Imperial units, and United States customary units. There are 36 inches in a yard and 12 inches in a foot. The inch is usually the universal unit of measurement in the United States, and is widely used in the United Kingdom, and Canada, despite the introduction of metric to the latter two in the 1960s and 1970s, respectively. The inch is still commonly used informally, although somewhat less, in other Commonwealth nations such as Australia; an example being the long standing tradition of measuring the height of newborn children in inches rather than centimetres. The international inch is defined to be equal to 25.4 millimeters.
