[Leica] Gallery Posting Info?

[Jim Nichols]

Craig,

I'm no authority in this area, but I can tell you what works for me.

Resizing to 800 x 800 pixels for uploading will fill the original 
gallery box nicely and allow a slight enlargement when one clicks on the 
overlapping rectangle symbol above or below the image.  For those nice 
images that deserve enlarged viewing, 1200 x 1800 pixels will fit on 
most computer screens, from my experience.

When uploading cropped images, or those at very high ISO, I generally 
use the smaller sizes, saving the large setting for full size images and 
lower ISO settings.

I used to wonder how others saw my images.  Since I started using an 
iPhone, I can access the LUG Gallery from the phone.  If the image looks 
fine on my phone, I figure it is OK for viewing on most screens.

I, too, miss the Walmart labs.  They developed my film and gave me 
excellent digital images on CD.  Sadly, the local one has been closed 
for several years.  Walgreen does not impress me, and the single pro lab 
has frequent equipment problems.  So, my film cameras sit on the shelf.
