[Woodcarver] SmugMug photo gallery...

[Bill Judt]

Byron:

Thanks for the advice.

The idea of the larger images is, or course, to allow for larger/ 
closer views of the carvings.

Smugmug allow enough bandwidth for this, so storage isn't a problem.

Images that are uploaded to the site are converted into S, M, L and  
Original sizes. The default, of course is the thumbnail (S) size and  
the medium size. These and the L size are all smaller images. The  
Original size depends on the original file size...
The viewer gets to choose which image he views... which is what I  
like about the site.

Take another look and hopefully confirm what I've observed, OK?

Thanks for taking the time.

Bill
