Photo size in galleries.

Post by crox »

When we all had small screens 800 x 600 seemed an OK size to post your photos........now it seems tiny!

My screen is 24" & I view at + 150%.....so all photos look pretty awful! :(

Is there any way we can increase the file size & quality to appreciate the advancement of both cameras & screens?

Maybe the KSUSA fund can help pay for it. There must be enough $ from all the hoodie and cap sales.

I've said for years KSUSA should have "Premium Members".

For say $2 a month you get:
- Larger photo access
- Forums where the public can read, but only Premium members can post.
- Maybe even video possibility.

Obviously, major contributors would be exempt (Shapers, high end Photogs, Contest Directors, sponsors, film makers, ect)... might even be able to convince a couple shapers or Photogs to have an exclusive Blog that people could choose to follow.

You never know... Might lure back a number of guys who have fled the site over the years, and give the site more of a professional feel.

Of course, I'm a 'tard when it comes to computers, so all of this is outta my league.

I'd pay a bit to be able to put cussing in my posts. Yeah, big pictures and cussing.

Photo's look good to me, maybe your puters are shot. Size is 10 inches across at 80dpi. 100 dpi doesn't work, "file is too large or corrupted." I think this is the size Slats uses also. Don't save at best quality, just a tad below that, or the file will be too large again. Of course you guys with desktops may need to calibrate your monitors. :wink:

Viewing at 100% they are the same size as the 800 wide.......does this mean at 125% magnification on the screen they will not lose quality? :?

When you go to the photo gallery, images initially display at the mid-sized 800 X 600 "thumbnail". If you click the photo it will display the full sized, original quality image.

Compare:

album_showpage.php?pic_id=26185

album_showpage.php?full=true&pic_id=26185

Joe-
Do we still need to resize manually if we have big files?
