I'm using a resolution of 1024x768 (which I'm guessing is the minimum that anyone would have now), so an 800x600 photo would fit in fine. Shrinking them down again just makes them look poo.
I think I'll leave the pictures in that resolution and will await the changes with baited breath!
Those images were uploaded at 800 x 600px. Javascript is indeed scaling them to fit within the browser window. For example the first image in that gallery is 800px × 600px and scaled to 508px × 351px to fit in the browser window at a screen resolution at 1024 x 768px. It tries to scale the image to fit with a gap all around it whatever the screen resolution. I'm not sure I can change this for this display method as proportional resizing might get a little complicated for weird resolutions like 1440 x 900 (widescreen 19").
This is why I'm think some other gallery display layout are needed.
Refinements to the gallery are in the first stage of changes, which I started working on last week. This includes a lot of other minor changes and improvements so I'm afraid I can't put a definite time-scale on this.
Not sure what resolution you're on, but when I look at the A1GP pictures at home (with a screen resolution of 1024x768) the java resizes them to 6oo-odd, and so they look a little weird.
I was hoping I could upload an 800x600 image and have that displayed at 100% regardless of the resolution of the viewer.
You mentioned that you're considering different layouts - any news on when this may come into effect?
I upload photos to my gallery and one, for example, was greater than the 1024 x 1024px maximum.
On viewing the page in Firefox the image properties show: 1024px × 680px (scaled to 959px × 607px). This means the the uploader resized the image to fit within the 1024 x 1024px restriction and then Javascript resized it again to fit within my browser window. Viewing it this was look fine to me!
We are considering designing several layouts for the gallery pages and this could include the ability to display the full size images in different ways.
