I notice when pricing the photos there are different types. Can somebody please tell me the differences between Common, Digiital and Specialty Prints? Also, I notice in the Digital Prints section sizes are given as 4 x D, 8 x D etc. What does the D mean.

Thanks

Standard prints are the usual 4x6, 5x7, 8x10 sizes. These sizes are important because there are a large amount of frames that fit those pictures of those sizes! the 4xD and 8xD sizes were made specifically for "small cameras".

Bottom line: Look at the picture as your selecting your size and see how the crop line changes. If your using a Non-DSLR camera, picking a "D" size picture usually shouldn't have any crop lines, the picture should fit perfectly. Letting you choose between the standard sizes, and the D sizes, are all about the compromize between compatible frames, and not having to crop.
