Hello,
I know most people like to see the whole 800 but at what point may it be better to use a smaller size? In the past, I have worked on entries that look good all at once, but not as good if you have to scroll to see the whole "story".
At 800px on my monitor, I have to scroll to see the whole thing. (I know each person may have their monitors set differently)
If going to 650 or 700 on a side makes my shot fit in the average monitor and I feel it is best view without scrolling, do you think people will ding a point for the smaller size? It would be nice if we could vote in 1/10 increments, but we can't!
Thanks, |

| I would not ding something at 720 pixels vertical. The reason that size was originally chosen was that on a 1024x768 monitor, it was the maximum size that could be viewed all at once if menus and toolbars were hidden. |

That is what my monitor is set on. 720 is about perfect for me. Unless someone is really getting crazy, I feel it is not a big deal !
Another thing...I know i've seen this before. Would you work on the original size and when done editing - resize? Or...is it best to start out at your final size and start editing from there?
Thanks

| sometimes i have that issue too. my screen is 1280X800 or something weird like that. I know it is helpful to see the whole picture. And i wouldnt ding you if you or anyone if it was slightly smaller. :) |

Me either. Those I can see the 800 at full screen I wouldnt dock for a smaller size as long as it wasnt so small.

I edit full size, then resize and sharpen. If it is advanced editing, I will often do selective sharpening using duplicates and layers.
