you read all the answers and everyone talks about crop factor and relates everything back to full frame 35mm including phone cameras having an equivalent focal length when surely they mean field of view
And yet 10x8 relates even further back to full plate cameras, 5x7 is also a plate sized camera, you get 6x8 frames but the correct full frame would be 6x9 so our printing sizes Are even older related
Then there is photoshop using Ruby as the masking colour and the term unsharp masking both of which come from B&W Darkroom’s and nothing to do with digital imaging
And when did I stop being the photographer and start being the author - maybe that started when the camera wrote to the memory card
