I'm using 1280 x 960, so the 72 ppi PUG images are about the size of a 4 x 6
minilab print, which is adequate for general viewing. If I view a 1200 x 900
image, I'm still seeing it at 72ppi. It's just bigger. All web images are the
same resolution. Some are just larger than others.
Of course the other issue is that many members are still on dial-up
modems. A PUG of 1200 x 900 images would be crippling for them. And Bill has
pointed out that there are server issues as well. A larger dimension just isn't
going to happen. But that doesn't mean we can't display nice images. Looking at
PUG, I find that most of the images appear as well detailed and nicely
rendered. About 10% of them, however, are obviously bad scans. Some members may
be limited by their equipment, but some may be making mistakes. It was obvious
in yesterday's discussions that at least one member was sizing his files so
they were 75K when open, almost ten times smaller than they had to be.
