Other web-kits that allow you to upload large image files may seem great on the first look since you do not have to prepare the images for presentation on the web. However, the image quality will suffer because these web-kits reduce the dimensions and the file size of your images once these are presented on the homepage. The reason for this is simple: the file size of images can be reduced by specific programs on the servers. However, these programs do not do it as professionally as for example Photoshop, but more important is that you have no control whatsoever over the quality in which your images are saved. We believe a professional you should have full control over your images, since your homepage is your business card with which you are trying to convince customers.
Large ultra HD monitors have a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. According to statcounter.com, 13.4% use a monitor with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels and as much as 17.8% use the mobile resolution of 360 x 640 pixels. HD monitors (1920 x 1080) are being used by 6.5%, and for around 28% the data is unknown.
What does this mean for your website? Even if you're using a large HD or UHD monitor you have to take into account that many of your users will have a much lower resolution when viewing your page. For that reason it does not make sense to upload images which are larger than 2560 x 1440 pixels. It is more than adequate to have gallery images uploaded in a resolution of 1500 x 1000 pixels. Since the browser itself needs space for menus etc, it is almost impossible to display an image with a height of 1000 pixels even on a UHD monitor; on smaller monitors it is impossible from the get-go.
As a rule of thumb you should remember the following:
Reduce images that you intend to use as the background of your website to a resolution of 2560 x1440 pixels. This way, even a UHD monitor will display this image perfectly. All our background images have these dimensions, and none of them is larger than 1 MB in file size. The limit of 3 MB per image you're normally never be noticed even at 100% quality. Should this ever occur simply reduce the quality to 80%, and you will not see a loss of image quality.
Gallery images should not exceed 1000 pixel in height and 1500 pixel in width. Again, larger does not make sense the galleries automatically reduce the images in resolution, if it exceeds the above mentioned values. At this resolution it is impossible to generate images that are larger than two or 3 MB - at least I have never ever managed that!
Images for the content area should not be larger then the width of the column. I a regular column is 1000 pixel wide, two columns would be 500 pixels each and for three columns a width of 350 pixel is adequate.If you keep these rules in mind, and prepare your photos with good software, your pag4 photography website Will load perfectly, react very quickly, and present your images in perfect quality. By the way, we're currently working on the option of activating color profiles for the images, which will lead 20 Even better presentation of your photos.
