One wasn't stated, but it would make sense to make the photos fit large screens, at the most. I believe that would be 2560x1600, less the frames, menus and other crap, and that is only 30" monitors. I currently use a 27" monitor, and I am sure that other HD thread users might even have 24" monitors, which have maybe 1920x1200. The largest photos I have posted here have been 1920x1080, I think.

Is there a maximum size for posts here...?
i don't think it's been decided, i think anything to big to display on a 30" monitor is probably too big?
edit: oops, missed the next page. that looks fine on my monitor. i've been mostly going for ipad size images since that's what i post to flickr and it seems like the one of the best photo display device types these days.

Fits nicely to browser window even without using the fullscreen mode. My resize script for HD thread scales images so that longer edge is 1600px.

Thought I had posted this a while back, but apparently not. We spent a weekend on the California coast in January and were treated to a pretty glorious winter sunset. Fortunately, I had my D800 and Zeiss 21 in the car. This is one of my favorite beaches to photograph, but it takes so long to drive there that I usually miss the best conditions.
Wanted to try one new technique; deconvolution sharpening. I tried it to normal images, but it didn't do anything positive to normal images. So I tried it with image, which is destroyed by diffraction. Results were rather good, sure at pixel level it looks little weird, but as print or screen (I view images in 2560x1600 screen) it looks ok. Tried this with few lenses, but it worked best with Makro-Planar T* 2/100. Wanted to share this, so my test don't go wasted since I don't feel any need for shooting "all sharp back to front"-images (boooooooooooooooriiiiiiiiiiing).

For reference same image shoot with f/5.6 and normal processing
I have done both JPG and TIFF manually in the past, but I now use the Open in Photomatix Pro option from inside Lightroom, and it converts to TIFF first, and then sends them out.

Thanks Carsten. I am doing the same via LR and into HDR Efex Pro 2. Just tried my first HDR yesterday and it was not very good... Must keep trying!
