Another drawback, if you put up big photos then you disadvantage
people who either have very small screens, low bandwidth or who
are happy to see them a reasonable small size. It works like
this: you can put up a massive pic and it will resize by the
browser either with the style I gave you or in other ways (there
are situations when you can base the width and height on ems
according to the px proportions of the native size) not to badly
if it is viewed with less pixels than native. But the big file
still has to be downloaded to the punters machine, the poor
fellow on dialup or small screen is getting more than he wants
for hs purpose.
You can easily solve the problem of giving everyone what they
want by ensuring you offer different sizes and making this plain.
For big files, best to make it clear they can download it for
printing (don't lay it into the page, except for a link to it).
Thumbnails and moderate sizes for enlargements for the average
we\bsite, say 100px square and 500px square as a rough guide.
Anything much bigger, I would take heed of what mb says.
