Obviously not as the available screen real estate on four of the five monitors I use on a regular basis have the screen real estate available to view the images full size, but only one of them is doing so. All of them are using the exact same software and browsers and settings, blah, blah, blah. Yet it only works on this - the computer I am posting from right now, the 27" iMac. The largest screen. There is a dramatic difference in image quality between how this screen shows the image and how every 'scaled' screen shows the image. When I viewed at home before I went to work I was blown away by the image quality and how great they looked. I get to work and I am viewing on a 24" screen and all of a sudden they look like crap. The same photos. Then I realize they are being resized. And when I stopped to watch them load, sure enough, they load full size and look great for about a tenth of a second before they are resized and look like...well, normal DPC images on my screen - no larger or better in quality. In fact, a lot look poorer in quality so much so that I stopped voting in the C2K challenge. A lot of the photos looked excessively processed, especially in the cloud/sky areas as well as a lot of them look to be very over-sharpened. I will review and re-vote 100% on my home screen.


That's weird...wonder why they display differently on your other monitors especially on your 24 inch monitor. I don't have any issues here. I am using a Apple Mac mini with the Safari browser and a 22 inch HP pavilion 22xi monitor and the images are displayed full of detail and at 1200x pixels.

The 22" HP screen (and most 24" screens) is 1920x1080, so must resize to show in full an 1200 pixels high image. The iMac 27" screen is 2560x1440 so no problem there. As someone already noted, this change may create a bias towards landscape images, as these will show nicely on smaller screens.


Right I get it but then the answer is to only go say up to 1000 x pixels in height and also in width for square images or as high as your monitor will allow anyway.


Not all my equipment is MAC and as I said, regardless of the screen size, I have the resolution necessary to see the images FULL SIZE but only one screen is doing so. This is what I cannot understand. I see the images full size on all my monitors for a brief second, only the 27" iMac keeps them that size. I have tried everything to stop this. I look at my own images at full size on all the monitors, even through my browser. But when viewed on DPC, all but one resizes them. This makes me think something in the detection of how or when to resize is not 100%.

The forced resizing you see is the new implementation of our voting page. I outlined it in the original announcement:


OH! I love it when someone takes control!

Thanks, Langdon!

Will you please force a resize on my posterior?

What happens to an image if it is uploaded and is larger than the specified limits? I have entered larger images and they do upload but I guess something happens to shrink them. I was just wondering what exactly it was.

I think they are scaled down to fit. This also happens on a case by case basis to view the image on monitors of different resolutions. Better to resize and sharpen youself, however. Then it gets done the way you prefer it.

The site runs a resizing algorithm for you. It's unlikely that this automated process will be as finely honed as the various ways you could do it yourself.
