Not quite true. When pbase downsizes a photo it greatly reduces the
quality. So a native 800x600 photo will look much better than a
larger photo which has been downsized to 800x600.

An 800x600 photo is not even worth looking at, I wouldn't worry about the
quality of downsizing... thats a thumnail...

Besides, no one would need to downsize a 1024x768, for example... No one uses a
screen smaller... and if you do - you ain't a digital photographer...

Do you have a 12mpixel camera? Why? Get yourself a cell phone and save money!

I still need 4 more solid Mandates.

Not sure if my first reply got through. And I didn't keep a copy.
Dang.

Count me in, natch... With the usual provisos - my availability
varies dramatically (although I think I have a pretty good record for
critiquing in the past..). May I add a small suggestion? (One that
may add to the load of the organiser - sorry!) How about posting
images as they are lodged? I know that may be perceived as giving an
'advantage' to those who post later, but isn't this all about keeping
people interested and providing incentives and ideas?

And as for the mandates (and I agree they should be called 'themes' -
plain english rulz!!), here's some ideas...

Not the Usual Panorama
Whiteout
Blackout
Subtle HDR
At the Nightclub
Night Sports
Xtreem Sports
The Party
Bad Luck
Ugliness
Terror
Suspicion
Dream On
Blown
In the Eye of the Beholder
Histogram Abuse
When Exposure goes Bad
Fishing
Musical
Waves
Sandy

Surely there is something useful in there... I haven't examined
previous SI's so I apologise for duplication/stolen ideas. (O:

mt

Here's my contribution to the mandate / theme list...

Bits and Bites
Call of the Wild
Mad Science
Trim
Sky High
Double Trouble
Triple Threat
Oops
Eternal


Hope This Helps,
Dudley

If you can't respect the copyright of other photographers, you have no
place expecting to be included in anything likely to tempt you to keep
stealing other people's images.

Are you referring to yourself here, D-Mac? After all, it was you who
got busted for copyright infringement when you posted those wedding
rules you stole from another site on your website under your copyright

I think you're rather optimistic there. I've just looked at several
surveys and the most common screen size is 1024x768. It appears
that 97% of people use a size equal or greater than that in both
dimensions. However, only two thirds of people maximise the browser
window so the actual visible pixels will be lower. Designing for
a width of 800 pixels will suit around 95% of visitors; a width of
1280 will be too large for 75% of them.
You got it! 1024 x 768 is the world wide standard for images.


ya, .... right .....

anyway...

PBASE SCALES THE IMAGE SMALLER IF YOU WANT IT!

did you ever go to Pbase?

ever read the screen?


The size at 800 px was at least partly for bandwidth and storage
reasons. And you could be a bit more moderate in your boasting about
your monitor. Not everybody has such an animal, and a bit of
consideration goes a long way.
