Two ideas I use. First, hover with your mouse in Windows over the file icon. The dimensions of the image will be shown along with a few other tidbits. This does require using a calculator to divide the dimensions or to have the ratio memorized from the dimensions.

Secondly, I open them up in IrfanView and move the "select" boundary lines to the edges of the i mage and see what decimal aspect ratio is shown in the title bar at the top of the program. --Richard

Yeah I realized that after I made my comment. My bad.

You can create a column in Explorer called Dimensions ? Thank you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thaz *truly* the first USEFUL thing Ive EVER learned on UHH. Acoarst there are plenty things I dont know but this is the very first time UHH has hit one. AND its useful, not just a "fun fact". This most definitely calls for Chocolate !


you are welcome. I did not give you the specific details on how you can add a column. Not obvious, if you have never done it. (but easy), so this may help.
Select "View" tab.
Select "Details" view. This will give you a details view with probably only 5 or 6 default columns
Right click on one of the columns (at top, where the field is named).
This gives you a "drop down" with about 8 columns you can select. The last one is "More . . "
left click on "More . . ."
this gives you the list of all of the columns you can select. It is not all of the EXIF data, but a pretty large selection.
An added note: if you have another folder that you wish to have the same columns ( it is a PIA to add lots of columns to several other folders), you can go to "File", "Change Folder and search options"... View tab, select "Apply to Folders".
Your new view (with additional columns) should now be there whenever you open up another folder that are the same type.

That would be cheating, even more so than giving them their own folder !

As apparently the fugitive jpegs were created as a batch, sorting their current folder by date would also be cheating ...


Cheating is fair.

Here when preparing to print I look for a raw pic to prepare for printing Edit it and when satisfied load it into the Printed directory after printing I move the file into the directory of the appropriate size that it has been printed. My images out of camera are 27" on the long side. Three of these folders are of the same aspect ratio so adjusting the size by changing the resolution not the size of the file comes in handy. the 24x36 folder is empty being satisfied with the image and if it sells at a smaller size I may increase the dimensions of the image and then move the image into that folder.

Two questions.

1. If your image from the camera is 27" how many pixels long is it?

2. Were you just reporting what you had done, or did you have a question you wanted to answer? Or was this an answer to a question previously posted?

Just wondering. --Richard

Inches and pixels are unrelated. There is no standard or normal ratio. There are a gazzillion images in storage everywhere, all having different pixel dimensions, but each can be printed 27" wide.

If you use P.S. Bridge you can view the images as a list which will display there size.

8256x5504px @ the standard print resolution, 300 dots per inch, to be exact or in other word a Nikon D850.

That is what I wanted to know, and in general, it is what others would have wanted to know, too. Whether one then prints these at 300, 400, 200, or some other dpi, the pixel size of the image is still the same.

If you look back at my subsequent post with suggestioiions you might use, they will give you the pixel dimensions not the inches dimensions. --Richard

If you read the OP's original post or view it in my response, you will see where my question was. I know that inches and pixels are not the same. So,, when the OP mentions that straight out of his camera, the photos are 27" on the long side, I was concerned about that understanding or non-understanding. --Richard
