We go online and view some greeting cards. There are several companies.
We selected an e-mail greeting card.
The graphics could be improved !
We sent the card.
The graphic defect was received by the other party.
*******************************************
Maybe someone knows the history way back when the computer
screen was only 80 characters wide. Remember the Apple IIe and the
Franklin ?
But let's talk "pixels" at 96 pixels per inch (IBM compatable).
1. The background graphic in question is only 800 pixels wide.
Therefore the viewing on the monitor shows a full graphic plus
some of the picture.
2. The background graphic should be 1025 pixels wide.
Then the picture would be full screen and not show
one plus a bit more.
Question:
Is this a carry over of the composition or did the monitors just
show 800 pixels at one time - then came larger monitor capability ?
Now, When one right clicks on the graphic and saves the background
image it is 800 pixels. To look good in an e-mail one must revise the image
with a graphic program to 1025 pixels wide.
One wonders why the images used by the greeting card company
are all just 800 pixels wide. They had to format their backgrounds.
Surely they could have seen how goofy they appear.
Question:
Got any memory of just why it was set up with that value ?
Just pondering.
Thanks

Please clarify the above. What do you mean by "background graphic" as opposed to "full graphic & some of the picture"?
Images used on WWW docs are usually "optimized", meaning they are compressed w/ some original data removed to reduce total kilobytes and also are resized (dimensions reduced).
WWW docs (Web pages) are designed usually with the largest majority of screen resolutions in use by viewers. This is to present the best possible view of the document w/out the need for horizontal scrollbars. So, if a viewer has a screen resolution of 800x600 and an image in a Web pages is 1024x768, the viewer browser will use a horizontal scrollbar. The idea is that you do NOT want the viewer to have to scroll horizontally to see the page content.
1024 pixel width is far to wide for email messages or for display in Web pages because the most common screen resolution in use today is 1024x768. The browser window & vertical scrollbar have to be taken into account as these consume screen pixels too.
