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). (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) I notice this in IE 6 on XP the other night. If you open only the picture in the browser, it automatically resizes the image to a smaller size. Even though the quality of the resize was fairly good, I wasn't a fan, and turned off this option (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) 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'm in the low end camp. For most things, a 640x480 image is plenty, especially if you crop it. I will go up to 800x600 or even 1024x768, but I much prefer to keep them small. Of course I'm still running a 33k modem so large images are a (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)

The browser which comes with Windows XP does resize automacially when opening a *.jpg file, but when opening htm files it can be done I think.... I saw such a trick today at work. I can find it if you want so. I usually try to keep it 500 wide / 400 (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

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)

(...) 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.

(...) gah! that's a terrible thing to do, IMO. not only you force people to download the huge picture, just to see it as 100x65, but you use up their cpu to resize it, every time anyone hits the page... instead of just resizing them once yourself, (...)
