In my opinion, 72 DPI is an ideal resolution for on-screen viewing. Most
monitors will display that resolution well. The resolution will control the
size of the file. The viewer can then decide on what they want to view at a
higher resolution. I would suggest that the link to the high resolution
image be direct to the image and not to another HTML page with the image
imbedded. The reason is, an individual with a slow link or those who are so
far from you that the overhead of the connection slows the load, can right
click on the image and directly save it off. This allows someone to queue up
a couple of images and go off and do something else.

Don't agree Richard, clipping pictures to a smaller resolution is a waist
of information. Sometimes the value is in the details!. If you have a look
at my pictures at forum.okhuijsen.org -> gallery You will see that there
is first a thumbnail, so fast loading, selecting that small picture will
give you a reasonable 768x1028 definition picture and again click that
will produce the original definition one, which is too large for normal
computer screen and will load slowly on anything slower then T1, but will
offer all the details. Hard disk space is cheap nowadays, and we should
not throw anything away, that later could be usefull.
