you're confusing yourself. think about it...if your monitor resolution is set @1280x1024 that's how many pixels can be displayed. if your resolution is set to 800x600 that's how many can be displayed. it's that simple. ex: if you post an image that is 1280x1024 and view it on a monitor that's set to 800x600 the image will be larger than the screen...you'll have to scroll the screen to view the entire image or zoom out to less than 100%. your video card resizes pixels to achieve the resolution setting. i'm not a web page guru it seems logical that you consider the hardware settings of your viewing audience when determining image dimensions. most people don't have large monitors that are set to 1280x1024. the last estimate i saw discussed was more like 800x600 screen resolution. so if you don't want your image to fill the screen of most users you should keep them smaller than 800x600. and, obviously, you have to consider your total page content (i.e. text & images & logo, etc.) and you probably want to also consider loading time for you page. most people don't have hi-speed internet connections. the larger the image the longer it will take the page to load. hope this helps.

Web browsers don't care what your monitor settings are.

However, Web browsers can not display an image that is bigger than the monitor.

Think about this.

Suppose your screen is set to 800x600. Suppose a Web page has a picture that is 1024x768. It will not fit on the screen; you will have to scroll to the right and scroll down to see it all.

Of course not. And I see a lot of examples of just that problem.

Not correct. Both Internet Explorer and Firefox have the capability to reduce the size of any graphic downloaded to 'fit the screen' ... and IIRC .... both are shipped with the "factory default setting to do that turned *ON.*

Yes. I turned it off in IE ;-) But I left it on when I changed to Firebird (which is now Firefox).

I was thinking of type and everything else in a web page. We all know Explorer can shrink-to-fit (to suit whom, I don't know), and there are plenty of other solutions to navigate masssive images through a web browser. One means to such an end is built into Photoshop (to return to On Topic stuff.)

For a URL that ends in a single image, yes. However, they will not do this for images referenced within an HTML file.
