TOO SMALL CAN'T EVEN SEE IT

JUST PULLIN YOUR LEG. KEEP AT IT.

640x480 and 800x600 are good pic sizes for the web. I believe the average monitors default resolution is 1024x768 these days so you definitely want the pics to be smaller to avoid making people scroll sideways.

Oops, had it sized to 8"x6", changed that to 640x480 pixels and that made it bigger! Did ya'll have to scroll across the screen to see all of the first image? Guess my monitors big or something, it fit in the screen very well.

Better??

EDIT: Nope.

Posting pics is easy, it's getting the right size that's a challenge!

Guess my monitor's set up different or something, all of the previous pics posted great within the screen without having to scroll, and the last two larger images, even look to be the same size. What are ya'll seeing on your monitor?

What resolution are you running?

As HV said, 604x480 or 800x600 are good sizes. Not too small or too large.

The only pic that's coming through for me is the one in the first post. The G21. It is a good size and good pic.

Running 1024x768. The first photo is sized in inches using Lexmark Photo Editor. The second I sized in pixels (as stated) and the third I don't really remember. The second and third pics are larger than the first, just can't figure why the first is coming across too large on other's monitors. Ideas?

PS - The Lexmark program converts inches to pixels, and 8" x 6" converts to 504x377 pixels. ??

Does this work better on everybody's monitor??

I think maybe my last post wasn't clear. 1024x768 is average monitor resolution. 800x600 and 640x480 are much smaller than 1024x768 and should allow most viewers to see good quality pics and not have to scroll sideways. If you made the pics 1600x900 they'd be GIANT on most screens and the majority of folks would have to scroll sideways to see it all.
The first pic you posted is a good size at 576x431 but you can get away with a bit larger.

Does that make sense?

Ah-ha, now it does make sense. I thought ya'll were having to scroll your screen across on the first picture, maybe that's why I let myself get confused. Gotcha, thanks all.
