Stacey, I do have a follow-up question on this point. Is it a safe assumption on my part that whatever the script or algorithm or command (sorry, don't know the right term) you'll be using to direct your software to create the extra "resized" image, it'll first check the width of the artist's original uploaded image and if that is 700px or less, your software will do nothing? We wouldn't want extra .jpg compression added unnecessarily.
Obviously, one absolute control the artist can retain under this new gallery plan is simply to make their uploaded images smaller (less wide) themselves. That would ensure that viewers would ALWAYS see only the artist's original work. For example, several images in my gallery have a portrait orientation and are about 750px wide, so my choosing to use 700px myself wouldn't be a big change. But if Rendo's software is just going to alter it anyway, I'd lose that control plus I'd be wasting my time trying to make the original image 700px wide in the first place.
thanks for your help...
