Re: Linked Photo / Images Sizes
This is all probably a storm in a tea cup. But I think that Rhodospin has a point. Although I don't have a problem with the screen ( I use Windows XP and Firefox web browser), I think that a smaller posting size is more user friendly - esp if you have a smaller screen. I agree with the size he suggested i.e. around 600 -800 pixels ( 800 max) width. (this really is big enough!) What I have done is created a folder called Web photos and so all the photos in this folder have the settings around 72ppi and 700-800 pixels in width, ( or if portrait format 800 px in height or less). I set the size when I use photoshop's 'save to web' function and save the image to the web folder I created. This way I don't have too large images and are separate from my originals. I then post them to flickr and from there of course you can choose 'large, medium or small' etc. If you choose 'large' this is the same same as you saved it to on your computer.
For web based photos, they do not need to be so large - also takes up less space in storage and the screen!
By the way - you can download from Microsoft 'Image Resizer', this is under Power Toys, and this function allows you to resize your images. A useful function -esp for emails, web postings etc...
