Stupid question re image size

Hi,

A friend is getting married and her photographer is offering a cd with the following:

1) cd with all images, ready to print in large J-Peg
2) bla bla bla in 6x4 j-peg.

She want's to know the difference.

Is the only diff the fact that with option A she would need to resize the images herself, whereas with the 6x4, that is the largest image she could print?

thanks for indulging me:D
C&C always welcomed.

Cheers

    More likely than not you are correct, but I would ask the specific photographer for clarification.

    4X6's might be at 72ppi for internet use.....hopefully the L-jpegs are full resolution so she can print HUUUUUUGE.

    Yeah,
    he is offering the choice of printable or "for web use". tell her to get the large then she can resize down for facebook or whatever. You can't resize up...
