Too big. Nice pic tho.

You could always reduce it in size your end ... that way you won't see any artifacting ;)

(slang scratches his head in confusion) What I meant was the larger pictures distort the browser as I view them. Only half of the pic shows up without adjusting the slidebar over. This confuses and frustrates slang due to his low level computer skills. There are a few other people I've mentioned that to in the past.

Aside from that, you are a new member and I want to encourage people to come here and post/comment freely without some asshat such as me inhibiting them.

In the perfect slang world, all posted pics would be no larger than 640 x 480. Since I don't rule the world (yet), you post as you have been and I'll untwist my knickers and relax if I want to view them. :)

My apologies (don't worry, I'm British, we apologise alot here ;) ) I could do several resolutions if you want :p :D or you could buy a bigger monitor <giggle>

I thought you all had Photoshop in here :)

Well most of us in this forum do, but we don't want to spend time on our end doing what you should have done on your end.

Besides, attaching too many images sucks up the site bandwidth, and I promised Undertoad that wouldn't happen when we started the forum. If you can find your own host that would be appreciated. (This is not directed at you specifically but it is becoming more prevalent.)

[/moderator hat off]

Ooops! Sorry, I didn't think about the bandwidth :(

I don't have a band. Does my width really matter when I post?

Spreadin' the Gospel. It can open quite a few .psd files I've tried.

Sorry 'bout that. I'm typically set at 1280x1024, so I don't get browser warp too often...
Sorry 'bout that, too. Fixed.

I'll host images <b>for this site only</b>. Keep 'em to under a meg, JPEG. For the time being, email them to imagehost@gaveup.org - I'll get an anonftp set up after I get home.

Oh yeah, and all desktops should be in the following two resolutions, at least:

1600x1200
1280x854 (widescreen - I don't care if you have to crop it, just get the good stuff in)

Call me a perv, but that's pretty much the image I've always had of Sailor Moon,

It's not what you got, it's how you use it.

I feel the same way, I get really exited (don't get me wrong there LOL) when I see a hires image, tho my screen res is set to 1152x864 so I tend to do everything at that size, went to a site yesterday and found images as large as 3 megs, that was an experience to d/load LOL

I've only ever seen the sanitized kids afternoon TV version of Sailor Moon ... well okay, there is that scene well into the game Shadow Warrior where you find her sitting on the bunk in that ship ...

Glad you liked it Dave :D if you want the original 2.917kb bitmap image, I'll Zip it and send via E-mail.


Let me know.

Chris

That works great because of the drop shadows on the icons. (That also means if Chris's image had drop shadows itself, it would become confusing, eh?) I didn't realize that the Mac desktop had that, that looks very nice indeed.

Yeh. The only problem is that the bottom of her panties are off the screen. The original isn't the same aspect as my display. Oh well :)

Chris - yeah, go ahead and send it to the email address I posted earlier. Once I get Photoshop back (long story short, I had a fire and the cleaning people took my PowerMac *and* my Photoshop box), I'll work on it a bit.

Tone - Mac OS X == sexy. Everything looks good in it :)

By the way, I'm a high-resolution junkie. I run the following resolutions on the following monitors:

At work: 3200x1200 on a dual 19" Sony Trinitron FD monitor setup (see picture).

Power Mac: 1600x1200 on a Sony CPD-G400 19" flat monitor

Dual Athlon: 1600x1200 on a Sony CPD-E540 21" flat monitor

PowerBook: 1280x854 on its gorgeous 15.2" display :)

Linux Workstation (1.4GHz Athlon): 1600x1200 on a Sony GDM-F400 19" flat monitor

and I have a boatload more but those are my main ones (though I only have the PowerBook right now).

Joann uses 800x600 on a 19" monitor. <b>Who the fuck does that!?!</b> Stunning.

Out of the insurance deal, I'm going to be getting one of Apple's 23" bundles of love, which will hook up to the Power Mac. I will probably also buy a second 21" monitor and run dual monitors on my new Pentium 4 box I'm building, and move the CPD-G400 (currently on Power Mac) to the dual Athlon, which'll become my Linux box. Weeee! 1920x1200, here I come!

The separation between monitors would bug the crap out of me. I need unbroken screen. At higher than 1280x1024, though, my eyes start having trouble with straining to see details (ie, the screen looks so good, I catch myself trying to focus on detail that really isn't visible, leaning in close to the monitor to see said detail, etc.).

Btw, what's the doohickey on top of your left monitor? I can't decide if it's a microwave receiver, a solar oven, or one of those Jiffy-Snap vaccuum sealers... :)

oh thank god. im not the only one who had trouble with that.

apparently, its a lamp.

How does one go about setting that up?

Bugging the crap out of And?

I'm experiencing a strong sense of deja vu all over again ...

(I still think your setup is cool, Dave)

I usually keep email and text editing on one side (right), web browsing and other shit on the left. I just put the text editor in the middle to show the spanning.

I set it up with dual video cards; newer video cards can do it by themselves (Radeon 9700 Pro, for example). I was using nView software for the spanning, and I bought a product called UltraMon to create a second task bar and handle that sort of shit.
