No, I mean proportion as in "a relationship between things or parts of things with respect to comparative magnitude". Magnitude by itself is just size. Proportion says, I have a large space so a large image superimposed here will look better then a small one. On Mon, Sep 23, 2013 at 10:07 AM, Godf

I think you mean magnitude, not proportion. I agree: Answering the "what looks good over the couch?" (or in your case fireplace) generally requires more size. Which is why I have a 16x35 inch canvas wrap over the sofa in the living room. Looks lovely ... it's a crop on a 12 Mpixel frame from the
