Sharing Lab Photos - What's the File Size Limit?

[Andy Resnick]

I finally got a decent color camera for my lab, and would like to share some images here. I can't find any forum guidelines for the images- specifically, what's the allowed filesize?

test: two images; one full size and another rescaled.

In the photo contest thread, the photo can't be bigger than 650 x 490 (or 490 x 650) pixels. I use that as a general rule for all of PF.

The bigger pic you posted is enormous, I can't see it all unless I scroll. Pretty pix...what are they?

True, this size really deforms the thread a lot. However if you look here, some images are almost 800 pix wide, that seems to be a workable maximum for me.

Thanks- I'm still working out some posting/hosting bugs... I'll post a set to the photomicroscopy thread shortly.
