Max height on Thumbs and images for free site

Alphawolf · 2004-07-31, 03:22 AM

Does max height on thumbs of 160px and max height on full images of 600-640px sound about right?

Thumbs average out around 6k and images average around 50k.

BTW, I am using Easy Thumbnails and kept the JPEG quality at 80%.

Should I try 70%-75% if the image quaility of the original is very high to begin with?

You just have to keep an eye on your page load times.

15 or 16 thumbs plus a banner or two may give you long load times if your thumbs are 6k each.

I do my thumbs usually at 125 pixels on the long side at quality 40% which allows me to use a larger odd banner. They are usually about 4K. I'm doing my large images at 640 pixels on the long side at quality 60%. They come in between 45k to 90k depending on the subject.

First I put the big pics on right folder. Then I made the thumbs. I also use Easy Thumbnails. After that I batch big pics. I usually use 600 for longer side, but if pics already are 600 something and too big, I use 550. For that I use Irfanview.

Wow. I'm sure glad I asked. I did a search here and came up with the above numbers.

What you do makes more sense to me.

Thanks, Cleo.

Thanks, finbear. No kiss for you though.

IMO

140 max for thumbs - K size is not so imp.(but you cant have 400K thumbs

yes I have seen this) good thumbs will save you bandwidth

Up to 800 for pics - as long as K size is reasonsable

Anything greater than 800 pixels long side or greater than 80 K would usually get rejected

Anything greater than 1000 pixels long side or greater than 100 K would definitely get rejected

That's a good point too.

I've been sorting through some zips of content. It's such a joy when people have the actual pics like 6 folders deep.

I vary my thumb sizes based on the template that I'm using, but for the most part, one side is around 100-125.

As for pics, I tend to go for 600x450 or 640x480

GG- thanks for the reply.

Somethin' cool- I learned my new host, ProTGP has movie hotlinking protection- including WMV's. Works great.
