allow me to address all the responses at once.
yes, there many people still whom own 15 inch monitors still have a default resolution of 1024x768. i personally own a
19 inch monitor at a default 1280x1024 resolution which i may add is an aspect ratio of 5:4 versus a resolution of 4:3
for 1600x1200. so in essence i compromise 99.4% of the time.
I have absolutely no problems re-sizing a 1600 x 1200 wall in Firefox. the wall looks fine.
1600x1200 allows people whom have monitor resolutions of 1024 x768, 1280x960 and of course 1600 x 1200 to use the wall
on their desktop. as well as 1280x1024 as i can attest. the mission or purpose of this site [as i understand it - but i
have been wrong before] is to provide high-quality walls that members can display on their computers, foster creativity,
and perhaps introduce new artists and styles etc..
as MapleRose mentioned re: what about wide-screen owners? well, i have never seen a
1280x720 wall that i can re-call. you can always resize a larger wide-screen wall such as 1920x1200 which artists like
tama-neko routinely submit. is it really necessary to have
1280x720 and 1280x768 resolutions as well? if i owned say a small widescreen monitor at 1400x900 i would wall at
1920x1200.or 1920x1080. why? because more widescreen owners would be able to use the wall if they wanted to.
candy-chan- the native resolution of a 13 inch, 15 inch and 17 inch Macbook Pro are 1280x800, 1440x900 and 1680x1050
respectively. why would an owner use 1024x768 or 640x480 etc? using a 4:3 resolution on a wide-screen monitor makes
absolutely no sense. perhaps we should add 640x480 to the list of accepted resolutions.
actually it doesn't suprise me that most visitors to your site have 1024x768 resolutions. why? because most of your
walls are at 1600x1200 resolution. i assume you own a wide-screen monitor but still you kindly choose to wall at
1600x1200.
as far as quality and file sizes- i am currently working on a wall that is 56mb with dimensions of 2110x2777. which i
will either convert into a 2048x1536 or 1600x1200. i could simply make a 1280x1024 wall but i don't. i am clearly
not adverse to large sized scans and projects. hell, you can't even use Photoshop without the proper computer
resources.
re: low quality scans- i understand that the moderators have purged low quaility scans.
personally i usually submit raw large 2000 x ---- scans.
larger is better when it comes to digital art. simple as that.
mcg- 20 inch lcd's have 1600x1200 default resolution.
