The storage requirements for the site quadrupled since the introduction of 4000px max image size. For this reason, and other complaints around the extremely large images, I have reduced the maximum to 2000 pixels and 2048KB.
I am sorry for restricting the limit, but the previous policy was not sustainable.

You could likely trim it to 1000x1000 @ 1MB and we would all be better served! WE

That may have to happen. I was shocked when I checked the directory size today especially as this feature is limited only to subscribers. We can try this new limit for a while and see how it works out.
As I mentioned, there was a little more to the decision. I would have reduced the limit anyway, but I heard complaints of load time and having to scroll to view the image.
For sure, I intend to do the following to the full-size viewer page
1) Add a link to it from the regular image viewer
2) set the background color according to the image options
3) add links or an input box to allow you to pick the size you wish to view (up to the maximum)

Eric, I think WE is right on with the size. And you would not have to change it in one month again. Also by then there are so many large files uploaded that it would take a wile for them to fade away. I assume that the images that are already uploaded can stay. Is this correct? So you would have to wait until someone is deleting them for your storage size to shrink.

Eric, the quality of the 640X files seemed fine to me.
Go when you can, go where you can, shoot what you can

| Since the problem is the image size, I would restrict the size only to 1 -1.5 Mb and remove any size restriction - especially the 2:1 ratio - to able to post panoramic images. The posting an 4000x3000 image is suicide - ( except the panorama with only one directional scrolling) - unviewable what sooner or later everybody find out. I would like to see the background black for the full size view and the small white frame around the image, so the picture will be separated fom the background. I am very happy to see moving out from the 640x640 display - I really like the DailyAwards, but took me a long time to suscribe becouse the 640 limit.

| The 640 x 640 was ok with me. I save most of my photos in larger sizes as well, but I get irritated having to scroll when I vote so I usually send in the smaller size.

640 pixels is a limiting factor on images with much detail depth and color depth. There are many images which do not display well, when only 640 pixels are allowed on the longest dimension. This constraint actually sorts away some landscape images (for example) in favor of images with less complex subjects and more simple presentations.
The current 2000x2000 pixel constraint is ample, but even 2000 pixels is intended for the potential to display panorama images. I don't think it was intended to post full sized square or standard rectangle format images.
While i find it very attractive to have 1000 pixels as a size constraint, it's not necessary to have 2000 pixels. If we can't sustain the 1000 pixel allowance, then I hope we will be able to continue to upload images of 800 pixels on the longest dimension. I consider 800 pixels allowance to be a considerable enhancement to the attractiveness of this website.

| I don't understand the why any objection against the larger display - except the for the larger file size and disk place usage - For first viewing and voting the photo is 640x640 and you have the option to view it full size. If your monitor setup is not right for the larger size viewing or you dont like to scrolling - don't go to the full size.
