Quote - Stacey...the dimensions may be the same, but the original image itself is downsized. You have to click on the image itself (or ZOOM IN) to see it in the original size.
Making the image smaller than the original on first viewing is making the images appear ragged and not anti-aliased. And not everyone will bother with the ZOOM and therefore, the image the artist uploaded is not portrayed as the artist wished it to be.
This is my concern also. I feel like I might have to plead with people to click on my work to see how it was meant to be. But this is typical with PHP galleries, at least the ones I've posted on. I really don't know how this can be fixed. To view the actual size images, you'll lose the comments area. Unless they can eliminate the "third" click (seperate window) and have the second "click" (the one with the comments) fill a scrollable area with the true image size (say 1024x768). Tough call. But it would be nice to have.
