Subject: [OM] How big is too big?
I'm reworking my gallery site and I am trying to decide how big is too big
for image files. I've tried in the past to keep the files under about 28 kB
for a 650x450 pixel image. But, that is resulting in visible .jpg artifacts
in some images, prompting one of my beta reviewers to rightfully complain.
So, when you are viewing a gallery of images, how long are you willing to
wait for an image to load? And how big is that in kB for your particular
internet capability?
And, yes, I know about progressive load images. How do you feel about
those?

Gary, I usually rescale images to 800x600 pixels; I fnd that works
well to give everyone an idea, keep sharpness good with respect to
rescaling, and maintain good image quality. As for size, up to 360 K
works for me. That's how I post on Photosig.
Cheers,
Stephen.
