I use 1024x768 with a 60% jpeg compression. The pics come out clean and large for the surfer and lightweight for me

We do slightly higher compression, and offer a smaller version (typically about 800x600 (or smaller depending on the site) for our dialup people).Originally posted by Brad GosseI use 1024x768 with a 60% jpeg compression. The pics come out clean and large for the surfer and lightweight for me

It all depends on your software. I have seen perfect 60% jpgs come out of photoshop and very poor 60% coming out of other programs.
These numbers are not carved in stone but they work well. A little trial and error will help you get the right compression setting.Comment

Ok I disagree with some people here.
I honestly feel that most people are using a screen resolution of 800x600, so why give them a super huge picture? It's not fun to scroll while you jerk.
My pictures are cropped to where the longest side is 700pixels. But they are cropped so the model is taking up the entire space of the picture. Less background makes for bigger looking pictures, but not actually too big that they have to scroll much to view it.
The file sizes range from 80k-175k depending on the picture.Comment

Our standard is 1024x768. Nothing 'dates' a site more than small pics. Consumers are switching to larger screen sizes; most still do use a resolution of 800x600 but why not plan for a future of larger screen resolutions.

True, some will eventually move up to a higher screen resolution, but there will always be those who don't. You need to build the site around those people.Originally posted by Kassidy
It's the same as when I was discussing site building to a friend of mine. You need to set the site up for 800x600. Cuz if you set it up for 1024x768 or whatever....the other people will have to scroll sideways. You need to do something that will please everybody.
And I feel that as long as you crop the picture super tight into the "action," no one is going to complain because it looks bigger. No useless background crap.Comment

When we increased from 800 on the longest side to 1024 2 years ago retention went up and we received allot of emails from members who appreciated the increase in size.

Yup. You'll get people emailing and thanking you for increasing the size.Originally posted by SpwGuru
But I must say, with all my advice, I'm a girl in a smaller niche than most here are. But I think my advice is still pretty good...if I do say so myself. lolComment

Agreed, get cheap with your free sites, give the members all you can to keep them.Originally posted by BackToMineComment

This option is enabled by default with IE6 and Firefox:
"Enable Automatic Image Resizing"
So if they have 800x600 and trying to view a 90000x90000 resolution image, it'll automatically resize.Comment

640 by 480 is a great size
if its for pay a little bigger. there are still toolios on 800 by 600 resolutionSIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.Comment

Most tgp's require larger pics then that on free galleries.Originally posted by VideoPass_Alex
Mandy I appreciate your opinion and like Mr Drummond says "what might be right for you might not be right for some" All I can go by is our stats and what members say. I would say for every email we received saying the pics are to big we got 10 thank you's. Considering people are more likely to complain then compliment that speaks volumes.

Most of the stuff we do here is 800 max width or heigh and about 120kb each. This size works for us and we don't have complaints about it. 1500 pixels wide means people have to scroll which I think sucks for pics..they don't need them for anything so no point going bigger. IMO
