Perhaps it's churlish to say so, but I'm a little disappointed that the default viewer option is for resized images - for a couple of reasons. A lot of viewers may never be aware that they have an option, and they'll always see the resized pic and may never know better. It just seems correct  for the default viewer option to be "artist preference". But hey, that's small potatoes next to a great big juicy steak.

As I said in my thank you post, you know the resized images don't bother me so much anymore (even though all of my stuff will be set to Full Size) because they don't look terrible.  I mean, have you looked at the new ones?  They look GOOD.  I don't have to hang my head in shame when someone comes by and looks at it without taking the time to "zoom in".

I always make my renders at the highest resolution my computer will handle (or sometimes not handle, he he) because I'm an absolute detail freak.  I want to see the tiniest freckle or strand of hair.  99.5% of the time my renders are too big for the filesize limit, so I painstakingly shrink and compress the image to get the optimal image under 512KB.  The fact that the new resized images hold up superbly next to the upload version from what I've seen.  When you go smaller you'll always lose some detail, but at the least the pictures aren't butchered anymore.

So now, when someone clicks a thumbnail, they will always see a good quality image, even if it's resized.  If they want all the detail that was originally uploaded, they can click zoom in.  And for my gallery, you can click the link to my website for the super ridculously hi-res ubër-detailed images that can't fit under Rendo's file size limit. :)  It's all about options, and they gave them to us.
