What size images would you recommend

Thanks for the input Alex,

Only problem is our pix are opening in a window with slide show etc.. which means IE wont resize image... (or my ie doesn't anyway)

Looking forward to seeing what other peoples thoughts are on this....

I guess its do members want to see detail and slide the image if necessary or sit back and ogle(one hand mouse operation) at the whole image.

I would say the bigger the better.

On our paysite they can choose the size of images they want to see, with the slide show or normal.

600 long side is bottom of the barrel. 2000x1333 would be above average, but a few sites offer even bigger pics. Blowing up pics just to make them look bigger is a no-no though. Clarity over high-res.

Your slideshow script/html should be flexible. You can offer medium rez pics for slideshows and high rez for download but I think if you code the page to adjust to the photo width you'd have no problems.

I prefer ZIP downloads. That way I can use a photo browsing proggie to view the photos offline. That means full screen viewing, no waiting for individual big pics to download.
