True however a direct link to an Internet hosted jpg file isn't a web page so isn't so constrained, as I mentioned most browsers now have integral tools for automatically resizing images to fit to screen from direct links.

Shel, never gave out tallied results on his poll. But I noticed that while many can see much wider than 600, 800 was mentioned many times, the ones that had a preferred cut off point preferred PESOs 650 pixels high and shorter. The more signifcant cut off point, in other words, was height. But, on the other hand, people were more willing to scroll vertically than horizontally by a significant amount. I could go in and tally his poll or maybe someone else could. He's not on list right now. The results surprised me. But I felt it gave me valuable information in how to size my PESOs.

Re: Peso Squatter's Rights
Personally, I prefer a "browser sized" image to start with and the option of viewing a larger image. But that's not a always possible. Firefox, and I'm assuming other browsers, offers a setting to automatically resize the image. This particular image needs to be big, IMO. There's a lot of detail in it. Street photos, candid portraits, etc. often work well enough for me at 600 or 800. Beautiful photo, btw.

600 pixels is too small. This is a photography list, and most viewers want to be able to judge image quality. Even at 1200 pixels that can be difficult. At 600 it's impossible.

Re: Peso Squatter's Rights
Rob, You're right, this was discussed a month or two ago, and in a poll the overwhelming majority of respondents said they wouldn't bother to resize a pic in order to view it, IIRC.

I have an iMac and a MacBook at home, and a PC at work.

Don't know what browser you're using, but you can set Firefox to automatically resize vertically to fit your monitor.

Rick, I can't remember, are you on a Mac? What I do is simply drag and drop the image straight from the browser onto the desktop (this effectively downloads the pic to your computer) and then double-click on that - it then opens the pic in Preview and sizes to the screen area available.

Rick, What browser are you using to view this image? This issue has been discussed here regularly and not more than a weeks ago last time. Generally when image files are posted as a direct link to a web viewable image format (such as jpg) most modern browsers will auto size the image to fit the available screen space. This is most convenient as it provides the best of both worlds, an overall view initially and access to detail generally at the click of the mouse button. If your browser doesn't behave this way you may find that there is an option buried in the setup that enables this function. Personally I'd prefer images were not limited to 600 pixels or even 800 vertically, this is one of the constrains that discourages me from participating in the PUG.

Re: Peso Squatter's Rights
Bob, This is probably a really nice photo, but I can only see 1/4 of it on my monitor at a time--and it's not worth copying it to Photoshop and reducing its size. How about keeping things to 600 pixels or less vertically, please?

Certainly some interesting limb shapes and contours. I'd prefer if they were more isolated from the overall tangle of the surrounding growth. Still, I think it was worth a shot.
