Mary, what I did specifically is this ...
If you bring the photo into your photo shop software (or other software) it will indicate your photo to be so many pixels high and wide. Like the restrictions we have here for posting 400 w by 600 h.
If you set your cursor on the top of his head your program should indicate, on the (x y) axis, how many pixels down from the top your cursor pointer is (for your photo the number was 17), make note of that number. Then, move the cursor to the bottom of the chin and note the pixel position number (your photo was 117).
Now, subtract the first number (top of head 17) from the second number (bottom of the chin 117) and you will have the total vertical pixels of the head (100).
If you take that number (100) and divide it into the total number of vertical pixels (your photo was 539) you will get how many "seven inches" there are within the overall vertical length of the photo. Then, take that number (5.39) and multiply it by seven to get the vertical size of the canvas (37.73) using a seven inch head.
This is a lot harder to describe than it is to do. And, I should get extra points for doing this calculation during what looks like the last game of the World Series.
