Dear Forum Members.

 

I also posted this question at the German digital forum:

 

These days I´m looking for an online service to build an online portfolio. An optimal solution would be a mixture from elegant site design (like smugmug or zenfolio) AND an active forum for discussing pics and for getting creative input (like altphotos or photo.net).

 

I already set up a trial account at smugmug elfgen foto - mindful visual work- powered by SmugMug

Pretty design but they obviously compress the pics for viewing. This seems a death blow to my already terminally lousy film scans. (I´ll crawl through their support section today). I´m not familiar with HTML either.

 

Any suggestions for an online sevice worth to try?

 

Thanks for Your input

I thought they were nicely presented and don`t see anything wrong. On the right side of the pic is a flyout menue that can be used to pick a larger viewing size. It takes a bit of time to show.

 

I took a look at a fall leaves in the German Park and the flying birds expanded to a larger sizes and see nothing wrong. They are sharp, clear, and full of detail. They look as nice as anything I have seen on the net.

 

If you are just trying to enlarge the screen shot that comes up, that will not work well.

 

I am working with XP and IE7 and a CRT monitor I use for E mail etc.
