are .png max 1200 pixels wide?
« on: February 02, 2018, 05:07:06 AM »
My original was 1440x900.  I think it got downsized to 1200x750 when I attached it.  Want to make sure it wasn't something goofy on my end.  I'd rather not downfilter if I can avoid it, as informationally it's better for a pixel to be a pixel.  I suppose I could try cropping it to 1200x900 and see if it'll attach without modification.

I've now done a lot of experiments with various cropped image sizes.  I can't remember the answer to my original question, but I can probably figure it out if I look back over my posts.  Looks like the largest image size I've ever managed to attach, is 1200x900.  Looks like every 1440x900 image I submitted, was downscaled by the website to 1200x750.  So I will guess that any image with a dimension larger than 1200, is downscaled until the max dimension is 1200.

I also know that 800x800 is the maximum size that one can use, and still have the image be inlined.  It will display at 50% size, then if you click on it, it will instantly expand to full resolution.  Any larger than this size, and it will trigger a popup window instead, which is slower to load and display.  Also these popup windows display at reduced resolution, often 75% size.

We have reached an informational threshold which can only be crossed by harnessing the speed of light directly. The quickest computations require the fasted possible particles moving along the shortest paths. Since the capability now exists to take our information directly from photons traveling molecular paths, the final act of the information revolution will soon be upon us.
