Hey guys working on some new projects and rebuilding some of the old members areas and I have been hit with a pressing question. It seems that ALOT of review sites dont seem to think that 1024 x 768 is a high quality image anymore...

So my question is what constitutes high quality?

Is it the dimensions ( 1024x768 etc), Or is it the clarity/resolution of the image? Or a combination of the two? And if a combo.. what is the ideal?

Im also looking at displaying my photos in lightbox so members can view an individual image, advance one by one and or view as a slideshow.
Considering this.. What would be optimal dimensions of an image?

And if displaying in a lightbox instead of clicking to see the photo in your browser
is that a bad decision on a review site or anyone elses thoughts?

if you only offer a lightbox type of experience should we also offer downloadable zips as well at a higher quality?

Mind you we are trying to protect the content from downloads but in your opinions do you think this is a bad decision or does it offer the membership attractive choices?

I hope this makes sense..
