My first post.

10 September 2008
"Abandoned Luxury"

Came home and the house was all quiet, with two sad remote controls laid by the side on a couch, unused.

It's a guess that it has something to do with the settings in Picassa. Perhaps you have chosen to have the website automatically resize your images whenever they are uploaded. Look around to see if there's an option you can change, or whether there is a limit to what size your images can be.

Personally I use Photobucket and they allow pretty big images...600-800 pixels on the long side seems to make a comfortable size for on-screen viewing.

Update
------------
I re-uploaded the same pic into flickr and the size seems to be the original. It seems Picasa resized my pic when I uploaded. THere was no option to set the correct size after uploading.

That's good, but I don't know if you can hotlink from Flickr. Photobucket has an option to automatically resize images during upload, and I think their max size goes quite large, perhaps 1024 px on the longest side.

Hi fWord
when posting, I used the "insert image" and specified the URL for my photo in Flickr. Seems to work.

Thanks again for your pointers.

Thanks jxlex. The scene was even nicer an hour later when the sun shone strongly into my room, the reflection of the flower was as bright as the real flower.
