Hi, again -

Those first three images look strangely familiar ...   eye rolling smiley

I've been thinking of building an ImageKind site for myself - not that I expect to sell any,
but because it's a way of archiving some of them and at least putting things on display
without having to worry about any more of my images being "borrowed".*

I just re-checked the ImageKind specs for uploading photos, and couldn't find a maximum size limit. Their minimum for printing is 100 ppi, so a 1200 x 1800 ppi image could be printed up to 12"x18" but would be much better at 4"x6" or 6"x9". The max is 300 ppi, so uploading a 3600 x 5400 pixel file would yield a much better 12"x18" print, and could be printed up to a fuzzy 36"x54". IIRC, the largest print offered on their site is 44"x60", which would require a file of 4400 x 6000 pixels for minimum quality, and up to 13200 x 18000 at 300 ppi. (Uncompressed, this would be 238.6 megapixels - a rather HUGE file.)

But first, I'm only four years behind in getting Volume II of the "Help Restore #483 #497" screen saver assembled.

* I've seen at least one of my #2472 pics used in one of those schlock "History of American Steam Locomotives" books without even being credited for the photo, much less the $3.7 million payment being sent.   eye popping smiley
