What resolution do you have your monitor at? On mine, the tallest of these, Pini's, takes up only 3/4 of the vertical space (since you refer to having to "scroll down", I believe it's the vertical dimension it's overflowing on your setup). It's 800 pixels tall (talking about inches and DPI for web images just confuses the issue). So if you're still running at 1024x768, yeah, it'l too tall for your monitor. But why would anybody run a 17" montiro at such a lor resolution? 1280x1024 seems more suitable, and at that resolution the whole picture can be seen at once even with the browser overhead. Preparing images for a general web audience, I still hold myself short of 800 tall; but Photoforum is a group of committed photographers, who I would expect to be better equipped for working with photos on their screens than average web users are. (That said, it does exceed the dimensions given in the gallery submission guidelines, which specify a max of 600 pixels; I think that's somewhat too small for landscape-format pictures, myself, but those are the official rules.) (And, while arguing that one point, thank you for taking the time to do significant comments on all the gallery photos; something I rarely manage to make time for recently.) -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b@xxxxxxxx>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://noguns-nomoney.com/> <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/> <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
