    Confused by sizes

    According to the rules, the maximum size for an image should be 800 pixels on the longest side. If I resample an image at that size, post it on Flickr, then use the "+" to view it at its maximum size, it looks a lot smaller (and less detailed) than those which are entered into the challenges. Viewing most of the challenge images on Flickr, they seem to have far more detail than I could get at 800 pixels wide, and when using the "+" to enlarge them, they look bigger. Not being an experienced Flickr user maybe I'm missing something, perhaps you can post it larger on Flickr and yet it appears only 800 pixels wide on the forum? Or are the judges not checking that all entries are "according to schedule"?

    If anyone can enlighten me, I'd appreciate it.

    Richard, I post full size JPEGS into flickr then open the image and use the share button (middle option bottom right on my screen). This brings up a window with the share code for your picture and there are a set of pull down options underneath to select the size you want. Mine is set to Medium 800x694. This is the code I paste into the forum.

    Hope this helps

      Thanks Ian,
      Just what I needed to know. I wonder whether challenge judges look at the images as they appear here, or on Flickr?

        Glad that it helped.

        They will look at the picture on flickr as that has the EXIF data showing that the picture was taken within the required period of the competition, it is also a better quality image.
