I guess I don't understand your response here...I'm always open to learning
something more about PS. At actual pixel level in PS, aren't we looking at
one image pixel to one screen pixel. Therefore, it seems to me that image
size doesn't matter. Sure, one image might be 6x9 from a digital camera and
the other film scanned image could be, say, equivlent to 16x20, but does any
of this matter? One-to-one pixel mapping is what it is, yes?

I totally agree. It has always been the person behind the camera that
creates the image. I only wish that my own personal photography could live
up to what any of my equipment is capable of delivering! I keep trying
though..............
