I rationalize that I'm old school and like the little 4圆 prints I was getting in the 80s. I can't believe it took me an more than an hour working that out after determining the 5x7 ratio was inherently flawed for this: 2 x 7 = 14 3 x 5 = 15. I haven't worked out a solution for horizontal photos so I'm stuck finding matching pairs at present or recropping and uploading again to randomly get the right size.ģ33 + 333 + 334 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 1036ģ33 + 333 + 333 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 1 = 1036

Because I do a bit of cropping of my photos down to 4圆 ratio so the math all works out nicely I occassionally get a 334 or 333 wide image in medium. The two tricks are to crop images to a 4圆 ratio and I also created an image that is a single pixel wide 512 pixel tall image in pure black to use as a spacer for verticals. for big photos, for the medium verticals and for the horizontals. Maybe we should post some examples of the same image at different resolutions and make some qualitative judgements on them? Maybe I've just pissed everyone off.Īn example (Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia which didn't make it into my last photothread): I'm sure many don't like it and I'm sensing that because my photothreads have started generating fewer and fewer views and comments. I'm like the Iron Giant when he first sees the scarp yard.

It lets me illustrate how I see the world as a series of contrasts and an almost sensory overload. I like the visual density of my current layout process. I'll usually give a link to where the flickr photoset resides so people can see more or check out larger images if they want. For individual images I'll use the large (1024) size, but for my photothreads I'll pick a few images I love for large (1024) and then use the medium size (500) as a layout tool for vertical and horizontal images.

I like big pictures and my monitor can handle things in the 1600x1200 (horizontal) and whatever 1200 would scale to vertically with no problems, but I'm impatient and I also realize that not everyone has a big monitor or really wants to wait fifteen minutes for a sixty image thread to open so I use smaller ones which lets me hopefully get a reasonable load time for longer photo threads. I used to use 800圆00 because that's what free photobucket did for you.

I didn't know they did anything to the original image with the pro account, but it wouldn't surprise me if they did a bit of compression to save some space.
