Keith, I agree with you on the image sizes if you are posting on a regular web-site, but this is an artists member web-site.

The bigger the monitor and screen resolution you have then the easier it is to work on images. As such a good percentage of the people who are viewing the images here will be able to see a 1280x960 image in one hit without scrolling and will also accept that larger images mean larger file sizes. Also, as artists themselves, they will prefer to see the image as the creator envisioned it.

I try to accomodate people with slower connections by keeping the file size as low as possible, but I want people to see my images as close as possible to how I think they should be. These days there really isn't a reason why an artist should still be using 800x600 resolution. I accept that there are people still using it, but why should I compromise myself to accommodate the few that are?

It's not a lack of consideration. It's merely wanting to show things as they should be seen.

Matt.
