Help With Panorama Printing

Ok, sorry for the old bump here, but I have a two part question. Number one, is a 10x20 considered a true panoramic print by most standards?

And number two, if I was to size photos for that kind of print, how would I go about calculating my image size in inches? My current specs on my photos are 16.64 x 11.093" and my brain hurts too much to figure the correct numbers.

    Well that depend on how / where you print. I like to print my panos at EZprints. They offer Panos at 6" and 12" high and then price by the inch in length as needed. They also have a 10x 20 print size. I've never had a problem with the quality of their prints.

    Here is there resolution guide

    So if your photo is over 4 megapixels I wouldn't worry too much.
