Hi all, I'm new to this thing, just undergoing my 7 day trial. What is the difference between the "Common Prints" and "Digital Prints" listed in the pricing area?

Isn't this all "digital"? I'm somewhat confused by the terminology. Are there some descriptions for these terms somewhere? Hopefully someone cna help me clear this up? thanks!

digital sizes explained here (http://www.smugmug.com/prints/4xd-prints)

it has to do with the format of typical point & shoot cameras (4:3 ratio, much like standard tv's) and more traditional 35mm ratio, 3:2 -- which is common on digital slrs)

hope this helps...

Yes, this most definitely answers my question. Thanks, Andy!
