Right-clicking gives a link to the full size, as I loaded it. This is already reduced from my original, which wouldn't fit on most screens.<br /><br />It might be a good idea to add a note to the bottom of my posts about right-clicking. Sometimes I mention that with a photo that really needs to be inspected in a larger size.Susannah Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923063322849781223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30584505.post-9013868144501183142017-01-09T00:39:14.922-08:002017-01-09T00:39:14.922-08:00I can use a 900px wide photo on both of my sites. ...I can use a 900px wide photo on both of my sites. On my photography site I use a photo carousel that allows the photographs to be expanded to 1024px wide. As bloggers we worry about site speed declines from using photos that are too large. So, we compress or re-size the photos, and in doing do reduce the quality of our work. Nothing worse than to post a photograph that is tack sharp only to have it lose that sharpness because of our file size reduction process. No easy answer...I know I can't post 12-15mb photos. 😀 If everyone had super fast internet service things would be different. Added complexity comes from the increasing use of mobile devices. On my blog, over half the readers now access my site with mobile devices. Even if the photographs are wonderful, they are served up to fit on small 4-10 inch screens. 😡 Retina screens do help. I have generally been pleased with how my photos look on social media. The smaller size does help lessen noise in my low-light sports photographs,<br /><br />Just rambling here...😀Bruce Gerencserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17120905880165625633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30584505.post-27000521086067678912017-01-09T00:07:53.258-08:002017-01-09T00:07:53.258-08:00The largest (original size) didn't work.

But I can try selecting the largest size for the photos, instead of the second largest, and see how that looks.

If so, the theme should render photographs based on device screen size. <br /><br />Your photographs deserve as much screen real estate as possible. 😀😀Bruce Gerencserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17120905880165625633noreply@blogger.com
