And yup... the hard work you're putting into this has massive ripple effects.<BR/><BR/>(I've found that when I teach people what I know, I realise that I know a lot more than I thought I did, and I learn it all again myself too. So hopefully you're getting more than just a great feeling out of this blog.)<BR/><BR/>Re the JPEG issue. I haven't experienced any hassles on your site. I've downloaded all seven of the images in the TOOLKIT (mentioned on Drawn, which is how I got here), and they were fine.<BR/><BR/>However...<BR/><BR/>There's a VERY good chance that some of your other images will be un-viewable on a PC.<BR/><BR/>Mac has a default way of rendering JPEGS that makes them ONLY viewable on Macs. And you may sometimes have that option on.<BR/><BR/>I don't know anything at all about Macs, so it'll be best if you just ask one of your colleagues to help you out on this one. It IS an issue, a known issue.<BR/><BR/>I vaguely recall it having to do with Macs defaulting to CMYK, while PCs default to RGB. Something like that.<BR/><BR/>Or it could be Macs default to 32 bit colour and PCs 24 bit. Something to that effect.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the blog.<BR/><BR/>Blue skies<BR/>love<BR/>RoyRoy Blumenthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01194440829358126889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23438334.post-1158463332164179212006-09-16T20:22:00.000-07:002006-09-16T20:22:00.000-07:00Okay, thanks for the input, sounds like most peopl...Okay, thanks for the input, sounds like most people are getting things to work fine!

If it’s the latter, I agree with the comments of MarkP. Netscape will also optionally size the image to fit the size of the browser window, but that wouldn’t be unique to this site, and only a newbie wouldn’t know how to click to bring it full resolution.<BR/><BR/>If it’s a matter of overall resolution, keep it mind that the more screen resolution your viewer has, the smaller the images will appear. For instance, an image in landscape format that is 1024x768 pixels will (viewed at actual size) perfectly fit the screen of a person who has his monitor set to 1024x768. One image pixel fills one screen pixel. On an old monitor set to 800x600, this same image will look huge, and scrollbars will be needed to see it. On a new kickass monitor set to 2560x1600, the image will look small, and take up less than one-quarter of the screen. <BR/><BR/>John C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23438334.post-1158419404173371752006-09-16T08:10:00.000-07:002006-09-16T08:10:00.000-07:00I found your amazing site through Drawn! a few day...I found your amazing site through Drawn! a few days back and have since went through your archives and re-read every article.
