 Topic: What picture size works best for you?
Posted: December 11 2008 at 8:56pm |
What size pictures work the best for you? Most of my photographs are much larger than what I post here. With the popularity of wide screen displays and lower cost monitors I was wondering what worked best for people when viewing the message board.
Thanks for the help.
Mike

All of my pics that I send to photobucket are automatically resized to 1024x768 pixels to fit a 17 inch screen.

For imbedded pictures in posts I think anything over 800 px wide is too big. I have fairly large screens, but I seldom if ever have Explorer maximized on the screen. It's usually just a window, among many, on the screen. 800 px fits my windows nicely.

I voted 900 because larger than that I get the sliders that you have to scroll up / down or sideways to see the whole photo

That is exactly my point. I don't like to get the sliders and have to scroll left and right.
Thanks for the input everyone. I hope to get more input before I talk to Jonathan about modifying his picture uploading utility.

I have a 15" screen and the 900 works great. The 1000 has the slidey thingys.

I like 800... I scale all of mine at 650 though, usually I can get higher resolution if their smaller...

Wow those are all beautiful pictures! It blows my mind how you can get a picture of something larger than life and still have it look good!

Steve,
If you are seeing red in that picture then maybe your monitor needs to be calibrated. There is orange or orangish brown but no red on my monitor.
