French term

dimension image

French to English Tech/Engineering Computers: Software
Dimension image : 1/1 1/2 1/3 1/4 1/5 (p. ex. 1/2). La valeur introduite définit le nombre de lignes affichées à l’écran par rapport à l’image complète : exemple pour1/4 l’image contient 1 ligne sur 4. La valeur 1/1 correspond à toutes les lignes, ce qui conduit à une résolution de mesure maximum et à une image de grande dimension à l’écran, mais le rafraîchissement de l’écran et les opérations de traitement de l’image sont lents. La valeur 1/5 correspond à l’affichage d’une ligne sur 5, la résolution de mesure est faible, l’image petite, mais son rafraîchissement et les traitements sont rapides.

In PC-speak it's 'resolution', curiously, not 'size' as such - you have the same 'dimension', a software setting, independently of the height x width of the screen, in 'System Preferences > Displays > Hardware' on Mac OSX.

does "image size "help? It seems that "image size-to-number of line ratio" would be more accurate

disagree Tony M : This would be misleading, and arguably ambiguous; I also can't find it anywhere in the ref. you quote? They speak of 'size' and of 'aspect ratio', but not 'size ratio'; here it is not size, but resolution, that is the issue

image scaling

In one way, this could be the way to express it.
Note from asker:
Now that I think of it you are right with scaling in this context; I shall go with that instead. Thanks as always Tony! ;)
