The Chapel picture now doesn't show at all but the Quanta logo image is
present in all its glory.
As the smaller pictures are all rescaled on the page to 160x120px there
is no need to retain the 640x480 size. It might be better to process
the full images in IrfanView (using Resize/Resample) to reduce them to
160px width or 120px height whilst preserving the aspect ratio and
leaving the larger dimension, then crop the excess off the latter
(top/bottom or sides) to reduce to the desired 160x120px, still
preserving the aspect ratio.
It may be slightly easier to reduce to 165px width or 125px height in
the first step to make the cropping to 160x120 easier, without having
to start the cursor at the very edge of the picture.
In this way the people pictured won't be stretched to appear so fat or
skinny!
Thanks, Stephen.
Good advice again.
Will that mean that they become a fixed size ? So, the right mouse
click will not bring up the full image ; if requested by the user ?
I have implemented your previous suggestion of going via a thumbnail
image and an HTML link. Using the Irfanview software.
I didn't know it had the feature ... :-) ... although I have used it for
quite some time, I haven't really explored its features.
I have made the Xmas Card at the bottom of the page a web link using the
technique. The original image was at a very high resolution of over
4000 pixels in both height and width.
Including that previously as a JPEG on the page has slowed down the
loading of the whole page.
I still haven't fixed the Chapel image, though.
Off line, it all works perfectly, of course .....
