Re: PF gallery on June 29, 2025 - food for thought

Mac monitors were 72 ppi at the beginning. Windows monitors started out at 96 ppi. Adobe save for web option saves the jpgs at 72 ppi. I had to start using the save for web option because I put so much colors into my images that the smallest file size of 1000pixels would only compress to 7.6 mb size.in jpg compression.

 I used to use 100 ppi  but now my images are 72 ppi. Adobe save for web also sharpens the image file. You can get extremely small files of 47 kb sometimes that are sharp in Adobe's save for web.

1000 pixels is 14” at 72dpi.  That’s completely off screen on a 15” laptop, and wider than my standard browser window.

That means I have to drag a corner to see the entire width.

Vertically it means on a 15” laptop one can’t see the entire photo without adjusting screen resolution.

5x7.5x100dpi is plenty big enough.

Question: with suggested image size loosened do you find it a hindrance that some images are so large that they are too large to easily be viewed? Should we stick to something close to 1000 pixels in longer dimension (unless obvious panoramic)?
