Re: Peso Squatter's Rights
Personally, I prefer a browser sized image to start with and the option of viewing a larger image. But that's not a always possible. Firefox, and I'm assuming other browsers, offers a setting to automatically resize the image. This particular image needs to be big, IMO. There's a lot of detail in it. Street photos, candid portraits, etc. often work well enough for me at 600 or 800. Beautiful photo, btw.

Shel, never gave out tallied results on his poll. But I noticed that while many can see much wider than 600, 800 was mentioned many times, the ones that had a preferred cut off point preferred PESOs 650 pixels high and shorter. The more signifcant cut off point, in other words, was height. But, on the other hand, people were more willing to scroll vertically than horizontally by a significant amount. I could go in and tally his poll or maybe someone else could. He's not on list right now. The results surprised me. But I felt it gave me valuable information in how to size my PESOs.

It's easy enough to have the photo link to an extra-large version for viewers who want to see one (keeps bandwidth costs down, too). True however a direct link to an Internet hosted jpg file isn't a web page so isn't so constrained, as I mentioned most browsers now have integral tools for automatically resizing images to fit to screen from direct links. If I was showing an image which was linked from an HTML page I would provide alternate sizes (which I normally do). -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://picasaweb.google.com/distudio/PESO http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
Peso - Lone Fern - was Peso Squatter's Rights
I agree that the original Squatters Rights was saved far too large. However, different images require different resolutions. In the case of the original, a thumbnail would do little justice to the image. Other subject matter does not loose anything in a smaller format. Here is a link to another photo from the same day at Maitland Bay. You be the judge. I am sure you can spot my error :-( http://www.users.on.net/~bobrapp/Peso/Lone%20Fern.jpg Cheers, Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Peso Squatter's Rights
My wife and I spent the morning at Maitland Bay. On the path going down to the ocean, I spotted this Red Gum perched on a rock. The title is the first thing that popped into my head.

Re: Peso Squatter's Rights
Certainly some interesting limb shapes and contours. I'd prefer if they were more isolated from the overall tangle of the surrounding growth. Still, I think it was worth a shot.

Re: Peso Squatter's Rights
Bob, This is probably a really nice photo, but I can only see 1/4 of it on my monitor at a time--and it's not worth copying it to Photoshop and reducing its size. How about keeping things to 600 pixels or less vertically, please? Rick --- Bob Rapp [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My wife and I spent the morning at Maitland Bay.

How about keeping things to 600 pixels or less vertically, please? Rick, What browser are you using to view this image? This issue has been discussed here regularly and not more than a weeks ago last time. Generally when image files are posted as a direct link to a web viewable image format (such as jpg) most modern browsers will auto size the image to fit the available screen space. This is most convenient as it provides the best of both worlds, an overall view initially and access to detail generally at the click of the mouse button. If your browser doesn't behave this way you may find that there is an option buried in the setup that enables this function. Personally I'd prefer images were not limited to 600 pixels or even 800 vertically, this is one of the constrains that discourages me from participating in the PUG.
