I have posted some pictures from my LF scans at roughy 2000 pixels wide on web pages on occasion to give a better presentation of what was on the negative but most people complain they are too large to see in entirety on the screen rather than compliment on the quality of the image. auto reduction software would be a nice alternative for that though.
Face it, the great majority of PC/WEB users are today using 1.3 Mp displays or smaller. There hasnt been much progress in that area in the last few years either. I am currently using 1280X960 which is less than 1.3 Mp. JCO ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- J.C.

I think the misunderstanding would be cleared up if you took a look at my website - I upload everything at the maximum resolution of my scanner (currently 1600dpi, hopefully to increase before too long...) and the gallery software creates a 250-pixel-long thumbnail and a 640-pixel-long intermediate-resolution image. The viewer can look at and/or download whatever version they like. http://www.elvum.net/gallery if you want to see my idea of the workflow of the future. ;-) S
