Re: PESO - My First Submissions ... Smaller Files

Mitch, "Stairway" and the two "Early Morning Park" shots are my favorites. Very nice indeed! I think the best size strategy is to keep the vertical dimension to 600 pixels or less. Lots of people have displays that are 800 pixels high, and by the time one accounts for toolbars and browsers and

Welcome! I looked through your images and you've got a couple of nice ones, there. It looks like you are seeing light well and using it to your advantage. My two favorites are Early Morning Park #2 and Urban Sprawl. Thanks for sharing. -- Best regards, Bruce Thursday, September 14, 2006, 9:

Paul, My mail program deletes anything that it sees as a sig. before sending out a reply. Sometimes the URL ends up being part of that. It's not intentional. Probably a lot of members use software with similar behavior. Sometimes I don't even realize it's done it. Paul Stenquist wrote: >I

I agree. I didn't check the size of the files in question, but they didn't appear overly large on my monitor. I save mine at around 970 points on the long side, 60 to 70% quality, Save for Web. Size ranges from about 130 Kb to as much as 300 for a highly detailed shot. Paul On Sep 15, 2006, at 7

I like larger images too, but for me it's more a matter of the file size. When I prepare shots for posting, I assume that everyone who may view the photo is on a 56kbps dial-up connection. Creating a 1024x684 file using save for web in PS CS2 at 100% quality I get a files around 330-450kB. At 75%

Good work. I like Early Morning Park 3, Edge of the World, and the Sentinel quite a lot. The Sentinel might benefit from a tighter crop: some of the right and off the bottom. Nice job with the exposures on the backlit shots. I for one appreciate the somewhat large images. Tiny web shots don't r

My personal favourite at first glance is The Edge Of The World. Great use of contrast for effect. I'm looking at the images from an old and uncalibrated LCD screen at work, though. Will take another look later. As Dave commented, your images are a bit big for web publishing. I think the usual reco
