After looking at Ben's pictures I had a question for everyone. I find it
difficult to take in the entire picture when I have to scroll. I was
wondering if anyone else had any feelings about what the optimal size pic is
to post (on say, Brickshelf).

Also, I just discovered that if you click on the image in Internet Exploder
(oh, Explorer) it automatically resizes the image to fit the window.

(...) What version of IE does this? If you click on an image while in a file view, it will load just the image (not in a web page). In every browser I have ever seen this causes the image to be shown actual size (with scroll bars if necessary). KL (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Good point. I've uploaded some whoppers in the past too, usually when I'm rushed. But I'd tend to say no more than screen size (1024x768 or maybe even 800x600 or even 640x480) unless you really WANT people to have to pan and scan to capture (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)
  Re: image sizes on Brickshelf
 
(...) I usually go for the 'low end', and size my pictures to around 640x480. If someone asks for a more detailed image of something, I'll either go full-size, or try to crop down to just what they want to see. I've got a 3.3megapixel camera, so if (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)
  RE: image sizes on Brickshelf
 
(...) My preference is at least 400 pixels wide and at most 1024 wide. This doesn't hold for wallpapers, of course. Perhaps there's a way that the HTML could be modified to resize the images to the browser width if the image is large? Of course this (...)

I forgot to mention a freeware app called Irfanview. It is a great image viewer and also does batch conversion (size, file type, name...). Look under menus: File, Batch Conversion... www.irfanview.com SteveB (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)
  Re: image sizes on Brickshelf
 
(...) I usually just split the difference and try to plan everything online to be slightly less than 600x800: pictures, html, etc. One of the better browsers to use is one called Opera, currently in version 6. One of it's cooler abilities is to (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.publish.html)

(...) Since I've done ALOT with HTML, websites,& Image resizing... Irfanview is awsome for resizing, But I only use it for oddball sizing, I Use Paper Port for scanning,& changing formats, & Microsoft Picture It, for normal thumbnails, & pics. (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)
