Re: Cropped images double in size - why?

<r>What is it that is "twice as big"?  Is it the image as presented on the screen?  Is it the resulting file size on disk?  What is the pixel density, i.e., pixels/inch?Pixel dimension is the critical factor.  An image that is 1200 x 1680 pixels can be presented to you in almost any physical size.  ...
