From The Glossary of Digital Photography

(1) Creating an image of an object in which the object in the photograph has the same dimensions of the actual object. Thus a two-inch long rock measures two inches in the photograph as well. This is also called life-size. (2) The creation of a photograph, either a print or a digital image, in which the dimensions of the photograph or image are the same as the size at which it will be reproduced, for example in a magazine or in a book. If an image will be three inches by four inches in the book, then the print or digital image is also three inches by four inches.
