Which is not a bad way to go I suppose, especially for the
thumbnails, you just load up the good bigger images. OP's example
is a bit frightening though! 1600 x 1200 indeed... In fact,
though, if the situation is not something very dynamic, and we
are taking just thumbnails and one enlargement, it is not a lot
of trouble to prepare high quality in a good photo editor and
load up the lot...
