Most monitors can be set at any of several screen resolutions (sizes), anywhere from 800x600 pixels to 1400x1050 pixels or even greater. Many photo editors can resize images to any desired size. When sending pictures to this group, the optimum size is the largest that can be viewed by the majority of viewers without scrolling. In order to send pictures at the optimum size for good viewing it is necessary to know how each of us sets his/her monitor resolution. What size (resolution) do you have your monitor set for? Bob Williams 1024 x 768 on a 17" LCD. Anything smaller makes my icons too small and the print too small. But what I really want is a wide screen 22". No more scrolling on web pages, and those humongous photos some people continue to post would then fit on my screen. Oh for goofy lines. Get the free image viewer irfanview and set it to display the pictures the size of your screen. Good grief, what is so hard about asking for a little advice before complaining about the wonderful posters on this great garden group. I would say "humongous" falls outside what is normally posted here. Who wants to open a 3meg photo? Is that a complaint? Resizing is no problem. First you would have to download it before you resize it.. How did I upset you? If the original poster can mention optimum size, it should be fair to mention posting size. And I believe that is an oft mentioned subject in most photo newsgroups. Some of us actually do need some advice on dpi, pixels and percents. Not everyone wants to use Ifanview as it doesn't satisfy (yet) all photo editing criteria. |
