That's what I did when I recently moved from a laptop to a desktop. My screensaver images were at 1920x1200 resolution to match my old 24" display. The laptops, of course, were all 16x9 aspect ratio, although the last generation had a 17" 4k display. I originally tried running the laptop at full resolution, but some of the software I was using didn't really work well that way - the menus, etc., wouldn't scale the font size up enough to be legible, so I usually ran the system with the display set to pretend that it was only a 1920x1080 display. As the two screens were different aspect ratio (16:9 vs. 16:10) the same image scaled to fit the screen meant one of them was going to be distorted anyway, so I didn't put a lot of effort into creating new 4K versions of the images even if that would have been appropriate. In some cases the images were at even lower resolution than those from the 6MP *istD - I had some from my 3MP Canon PowerShot G1. But a lot of my images have at least 10MP - even those scanned from 35mm slides or negatives - so reprocessing them to fit my current 2560x1440 27" displays is generally worthwhile. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
