For nearly all photos (not for SI specifically, but preparing my photos

bring extra goodness.

I understand that. Unfortunately I seem to prefer larger photographs,
often with lots of detail, and trying to preserve the visual impact in
an image of small size becomes very difficult. I may have to force my
brain to appreciate a different syle of image.


Yes, if you're doing stuff that really needs to be a few feet across,
often it doesn't look it's best at 1200 pixels, I do agree .


I guess that's why I bought a 19" printer. :-)


Me too. But it has nothing to do with preparing an image for the SI.
