  Giant Brickshelf images...

Is there any chance you could resample pics above a certain (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Bridge Elements Won't Click

It's a significant amount of extra work to add the watermark, though, and it clutters the image, especially if I should start adding my URL too... Amd even if I watermark all my new work, (...)
