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 concern. It's real silly when I have to
scroll an image at home (where I run 1600x1200). Such a large image is
only useful to a small number of folks who will print the image, or have
a gargantuan screen.
It would be neat if Brickshelf could autogenerate the smaller images and
give you a choice of viewing original size or restricted size. Of course
Brickshelf would either have to do it on the fly, or only have one
"restricted size". The way I would imagine it is to perhaps use 800x600
as a maximum size, images larger than that would have a smaller image
generated at 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 (or more) original size such that the
smaller image is no larger than 800x600.
This would be good for the instruction scans also.
