Wow, so with the picasa web album api we can never show a photo larger than 800px? Is there a reason for that? (800 px seems sort of circa 2001 to me for photogs that want to display large work online). What would be the point of including the other imgmax references up to 1600? Genuinely curious (not trying to be cantankerous). I see what you are referencing for sure, just really shocked after all this time of it working locally to see it fail online because of this limitation. http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/reference.html#Parameters On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 2:10 PM, Jeff Fisher <[email protected]> wrote:
