Hi all,
Whats the groups preference on the size of posted images, in K and res

JPEG images are preferred.
For finals, 1280*1024/1024*768/800*600
for previews/ideas, 320*240, 512*384
it aslo depends on the image..

I have more patience of a final IMG to download, at a better quality than with a
preview...

In general, try to keep them as small as possible, with acceptable quality.

Funny Spider didn't even mention 640x480 res. Far too common?
I like 640x480 myself, on average, since it is neither a preview-sized
320x240 nor a full-sized Windows wallpaper for 1024x768 displays.
I keep a 800x600 24-bit display on my monitor (could be 32-bit but
24-bit is common).
If you consider all out averages I would guess that 640x480 or 800x600
is the major choices then. Along with ~100K or less file (or ~150K
encoded).
Basically though, 320x240(200) is good, 640x480 best, 800x600 almost too
good. Reason being, larger (or smaller, meaning 160x120 esp.) files
probably should be uploaded elsewhere and not here.
Never really thought of guidelines on this before, just winging it
myself.
Perhaps a guideline should be made known and if it already has a pointer
to it. I sure didn't know of any such thing until GrimDude mentioned a 1
Meg limit on the binaries.animations.
Oh yeah, file type. Jpeg most definately holds the spotlight. Png *can*
be okay in my opinion as long as it holds to the other generalities. Gif
would be alright too, but seems no one likes dropping to 256 colors;
also Gif is not good at file-size when as large or larger than 640x480.

Image size isn't really an issue, file size is, as far as I'm concerned. I think
you should try to keep it under 50K, or, if the image is really great (whcih
isn't?) 100K. Sometimes my newsreader is downloading messages for 15 minutes and
I can't find any of it back in the groups...

Regards,

Remco

A point about PNG ...
I've had some vary funny filesizes concerning a reasonably compressed jpeg, and a high
compressed PNG.... PNG may be smaller... it all depends on the scene ...
:-)

As for the 640*480, I feel it's too much of a "in-between" to use now... Sowwy...

I'm sorry but you are going to have to validate that statement.

Would you care to elaborate a bit more ?

Why not, I've been rambeling all day on varholm... <--- Side note, I'm rambling !

What I meant is that I don't think that 640x480 is very representative, since in a bit
complex scene, one fail to see details because of the size. And in the same time, I
think
it is a bit to big for a featuree/preview..
