I admit it, I am one of the people that bug Devious about his image size. Sometimes I know that if it were larger I'd seen even more great detail, so I just have to say something. I know this is a hotly debated topic and I guess it is hard to please everyone. If you have a large monitor set at a high resolution, then naturally you'd want the pictures larger so you can appreciate the greater detail. Smaller monitor users would be the opposite. For myself, I have a 23" dispaly at work and 19" at home. Even I get annoyed when images are too large to view in the browser window without scrolling. Granted, some images need the extra real estate - panoramas for instance. But I agree that for the most part, an image works the best when it can be viewed as a whole and not in parts. When we all have the same size monitors maybe that will no longer be an issue. I probably make some of mine a little too large, but I personally feel that most people visiting RO are running at least 1024x768. It would be nice to get some stats about that. Neat tip cyn. It is rigth click on the mac and then choose "open image in new window". :)
