jplomley Posted January 8, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 8, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) With the ever growing popularity of the iPad and its native resolution of 1024x768, I'm wondering if it would be prudent to have the default image size in the Photo Forum equivalent to the iPad as opposed to the current 960 pixel dimension? This would also fall into line for the LFI MasterShot categories which are now viewable directly on the iPad via the LFI App. This would save a lot of headache for those using iPads as portable Gallery devices, and/or those submitting to the LFI MasterShots categories since it would only be necessary to resize once for multiple usage? Personally, I stopped posting to the Photo Forum because it was a PITA to have to re-size, save, re-sharpen from my 1024 postings elsewhere. So what say ye?

One: I think it a very poor idea to determine the format by extrinsic factors such as the kind of devices on the up- or downswing in their respective markets. Two: There are many more iPhones than there are iPads. By this kind of argument, we should limit the pictures to a size displayable on an iPhone or - perhaps - on a netbook. Do you happen to have any statistical evidence about which is the most frequently used screen size? Three: How many pictures do you have to rescale and resharpen per day in order to publish them in the LUF? How much time does it take you to do so? Four: There are quite a few members here who find 960px on a side ucomfortably large. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted January 8, 2011 Share #4 Posted January 8, 2011 Can't the iPad display 960 pixel images? I think we both know the answer to that <grin> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted January 8, 2011 Share #5 Posted January 8, 2011 The next iPad will be smaller, and the market for slates and pads is exploding, so it would be risky to couple the volatile market to a forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted January 8, 2011 Share #6 Posted January 8, 2011 The next iPad will be smaller... Really? From what I've seen it appears to be the same size - though with higher screen resolution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good opportunity for me to bet a pint on that. I can afford a pint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveleo Posted January 9, 2011 Share #8 Posted January 9, 2011 if we are going to vote, let's make it a maximum height of 600px so I can view full images on my little eeepc netbook. </sarcasm> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
