Image size
A recommended image size for this site is minumim 1500 pixels height or width.
Many digital cameras produce images with a 4:3 aspect ratio and which are usually larger than 1500 pixels in width or height. As such, you may want to scale your images down before uploading it on this site.
Images which has a 4:3 aspect ratio will automatically fit into the [[#Image_gallery|standard image gallery]].
When scaling a 4:3 aspect ratio image from some larger size down to 1500 pixels width, it becomes 1125 pixels in height. Or in In case of a taller than wide image, i.e. in portrait format, it becomes 1125 width and 1500 pixels in height. Example of an 4:3 aspect ratio and 1500x1125 pixels image: [[media:Diego_Suarez_150.jpg|Diego_Suarez_150.jpg]].
HoweverExample of an 4:3 aspect ratio, many cameras output different aspect ratios 1500 pixels wide and size settings. A free graphics application to scale images down with that works well on all operating systems is 1125 pixels tall image: [[httpmedia://wwwDiego_Suarez_150.gimpjpg|Diego_Suarez_150.org The Gimpjpg]]. But if you wish to avoid using a graphic application and instead upload your images in their original sizes and dimensions as they come from the camera, that is Ok too, but depending on your internet connection speed, size and number of images, the transfers may take longer.
