You are absolutely right. However, I also resized the images to 8x10". The
lower resolution was selected to enable faster movement, since monitor
resolution is about 72 ppi, and my images are usually several megapixels in
size and that resolution is not required for a monitor, but is required for
quality printing.

Hi
Second attempt. Tried before and sent it to Pat instead of the group.
Also forgot to reduce the size to 72ppi.

Good looking gazebo - not the usual octagon.

Erm, I know this is nitpicking, but changing the pixels per inch (ppi)
doesn't change the size of the picture. It may change the way some
applications print the picture. Most applications nowadays actually change
the ppi (and other parameters) to suit the physical size you've specified
(4"x6", for example.)

The display software does something similar when it's set to "size to fit
window".

If you want to size a picture to display at or nearly full-size when
displayed in other people's NG software, change the picture's dimensions
in pixels to something in the range between 1600x1220 and 1024 x768
