I looked further at more pictures and can see some larger photos when you 
click on the thumbnailb& great!

It kind of appears there is lots of white space and could be more room to 
set the thumbnails a little larger, like 2 x 2 inches.   I donbt know if youbre 
planning to set a maximum in terms of thumbnails per variety, but it sure 
looks at the moment like there is room for quite a few!.



One thing to consider, is where PC monitors and resolutions are going, in 
the future.  Monitors have changed dramatically in just a couple of years, 
and old standards are disappearing fast.   Ibve seen a trend of moving to 
the high resolution, 1280 x 1024 screens, and I know it takes a bit to get 
use to, but I see that size being the standard in not too distant of the 
future.   Thatbs the standard in colleges today, and many offices are 
installing dual monitors, so that is in our future as well.   That size of 
desktop gives one a whole lot of space for photography, and so I donbt think 
the worry should be bare we crowded or do we have enough space for a 
slightly larger thumbnailb.



As long as photo contributors send in images at the 72dpi resolution, one 
neednbt be worried much about someone btakingb a photo for other commercial 
use.  About the only place you can use 72dpi is at a webpage, as printing it 
results in a blurred photo.



For those who may not know, photo dimensions, in pixels, is easily seen when 
you look at your file detail list in bMy Computerb.



The wiki photo database is looking great to start though!

The photo sizes are supposed to fill the page. the thumbnails are smaller. I 
have noticed that some photos do not fill the page. My hypothesis for what 
is happening is that when the person reduced the size of the file they did 
it by making the canvas or photo size smaller instead of lowering 
resolution. I know we have all have e-mails that have photos and it is 
common for people to have problems with size. I am not that computer 
literate to know why every file can come out differently. I suspect with the 
multitude of photo programs out there there may be many reasons. At this 
stage of development there is so much work that I have not been able to 
troubleshoot this but it seems to be intrinsic to certain people entering 
and I think ultimately we will find what they are doing differently.

I had a chance to take a peek at the iris wiki... and I am wondering if the
photo sizes could be larger?  I realize it's still in it's infancy and I
don't know what is planned.
One thing I think the world/public will want, which Dave's Garden already
has, is larger pictures.  That's something I'll really like about Dave's
Garden; the public is able to contribute significantly sized pictures and
they are beautiful!
