While auto sizing works in Mozilla, a few of the Panos that have been
posted showed definite moire patterns in the smaller size. These
disappeared when the images were viewed full size.

I think a suggested 500k max file size is reasonable, of the images that I've
presented over the last few months none were larger than 370k. Panos 1600 on
the long side are generally no larger then 350k. In any case when I post a link
I generally state file size so the viewer knows what they are in for.
IMO any pic that's posted is only worthwhile if your audience can
view the whole thing without scrolling, preferably within the browser
window. Otherwise we'll only be able to see a variety of cropped
versions unless we go to the effort of rescaling the file. I know
it's more work for you, but you could post links to multiple sizes.
I was under the impression that most current browsers could be configured to
auto-size image files so files with pixel dimensions larger than the current
screen shouldn't really be an issue. I for one wouldn't be interested in
providing a variety of image sizes, it's enough of a task putting up one image.
I'll admit that I do enjoy being able to look around at an image in detail
after considering it's overall composition particularly in the case of panos.
