This incarnation of our site is still very new. So we are still kicking the tires. We hope to have new user registrations available in the next few weeks. In the meantime you can email balexander at vt dot edu to ask for an account.

You can upload images up that are no larger than five megabytes. Be warned that large images will be scaled down once they are received (see below)

To save space images are scaled down to sizes that are large enough to look nice on a computer screen but not necessarily large enough to print.

The site will scale your images to be no larger than 1024x768. So that is probably the best size to choose. However, any larger image with a height:width ratio 3:4 should work fine.

Previews are all scaled to 800x600. This is the size of the image most of the places it is displayed. If the original is smaller than that then the original image is used as the preview.

Thumbnails are scaled to 160x120.
