    Picture sizes

    Well I finally bought a content management system instead so I now I have the option of offerering different picture sizes! My site been around for years, so my content is all different. In 2004 I used to size at 800x600, then bumped up to 2006 1024x768 and last year I started doing 1280x960.

    What is recommended now that I have the power of a cms? Should I offer large (1280) and small (800). Or should I offer 3 sizes? What is the norm?

    Vicky, if I were you and are not offering HD (2000x3000 or 3000x2000), I would offer small (800) and large (1280). If I did offer HD, I would offer HD instead of medium (1024) as an option. But that's only me.

      Yeah, that's what I was thinking too, but what about 1024? Doesn't that seem like the most logical size? Most screens are 1200 something nowadays aren't they? So the 1024 would fit perfectly on the screen? I've seen some girls cms's where the pic opens up inside the page at 1280 and then the entire background gets broken up and spread all over the page, know what I mean? I guess the solution to that is have each pic and slideshow on the page alone, no menu's etc....

        Sorry, I meant medium (1024) instead of small (800). I weren't totally woke up this morning yet. Hehe!

        But you are right, nowadays, you can offer 1024 to 1280 images or even more. Having access to members area on a few site, I have noted that the following sizes are popular and seem to be the norm: 600x900+ (HQ), 1000x1500+ (Hi-Res), 2000x3000+ (HD).

        Regarding the images, you can either have them displayed in a new page with a slideshow program where the visitors could click "previous" and "next", or, you can use Lightbox to display them.

        Here's how Lightbox display the images. This is a gallery I made for my site to promote Twistys.

          I never understood what surfers want with images that are 2000 wide. Can anybody clear that up for me? Ours are 1024

                Hmm as a surfer and content producer......

                I find it annoying when pictures dont get really big (I have a 24 inch monitor) so i often find myself using the zoom function in the browser but that makes it get a little blurry, so definitely high resolution images are great! BUT if there is no automatic resizing options or no other options for sizes like small or large then its a pain when I find a super hot girl and the picture is HUGE and I cant get her pussy and tits on the screen at once.... and I only have one hand and 30 seconds to figure it out or im just going to give up lol

                When I shoot video and pictures I always go for the max resolution figuring its easier to make it smaller later than to kick myself in the butt for shooting a video at 720 instead of 1080.

                I made some content for this guys site which he had an awesome set up.... the picture gallery loads in its own window and he had a like drag control that could make the picture super small to magnified more than even the actual full size of the picture (good for zooming in to face or tits or whatever) so we put in pictures in the native size I was shooting them in at 3264x2448 and it was soo good I actually preferred looking at my pictures with his viewer.... too bad he since shut down the site and moved out of the country but anyways, enough of my blabbing.

                    with the amount of higher resolution flat panels in people's computer rooms in widescreen format nowadays it's very unpleasant for most to view portrait style photos as well as they would on a standard 4:3 monitor. 600x900 is definitely laughable nowadays (as well as 1024x768) for any format so it amazes me to see it occasionally as generally offered content in members areas.

                    As beautiful as a portrait shot can be monitors and displays in general have much more real estate towards the left and right and very little in area for height. I think key now is providing content that takes advantage of the width available to immerse the customer into the whole experience that you are selling.

                    ive seen some amazing portraits done in landscape format that utilize the viewable space and I must say that most medium to higher budget productions produce some much much more amazing experiences and quality of content than ever before so it's key to offer the photos as big as you can handle in terms of server usage/cost/bandwidth/etc to show a valuable and enticing experience for that renewing customer.
