Self Publish, Be Happy Hassla (USA) altfotonet A recent discussion with a fellow flickrnaut, about image size, has me interested to hear others thoughts and ideas on 'image size' in a web context? Viewing images, and by images I'm talking photography, although paintings and prints fit this idea to a certain extent too, in a gallery context for example, gives many artists a great deal of control on how the images are read by, and impact upon, the viewer. Taking them out of that context, and putting them in/on a web site, is a profoundly different process, with a potentially different outcome. There are several variables to consider when using a web site to view images. Screen SizeGraphics Card/resolutionColour controlsNavigational elements within the user interface of the web page. As a photographer, you have no control on how people, set their computer up or buy the hardware they use. My argument is this, if a fairly common resolution is 1024 x 746 pixels for the majority of monitors, why upload anything larger.
