Hi Needa,
I see you always (well, maybe not always but all recent posts at least) scale down your images to 900x610. On my computer/browser screen, they are all stretched to fit unless I click them to bring up the originals. The issue is since the images are stretched, they kind of all lose clarity/sharpness... I suspect this may only affect my visual effect because of my computer/browser setting. AW, looking Woody's image thread with no such problem makes me wonder what is the best scale size to post and show the same original or smaller size (Woody's case, not larger, expanded in your case) on most normal computer/browser settings. (I don't see Woody's image size in Efix but assume the click-up image is the original post size, and the image shown in the browser is smaller which looks even sharper if not equal.)

Thanks for posting your viewing experience.
Let start with Woody's images, didn't check them all but the last one was posted at 1200 DPI on the long side. There are several reasons that the viewing of mine is sub optimal. Lets address the last four images. They were all shot in flat light (high cloud coverage) only the last one has any kind of decent lighting, the light on that one was basically over the shoulder. The another fail is I don't optimize my JEPGs like I should, after converting the contrast and saturation should be checked adjusted.Another thing I should be doing is proofing my images on a white background as that is how they post here. I just bumped up my JEPG output quality that should also help.
I will open my browser full screen and take a look, only have a 29 inch monitor and run my browser at 2/3's of the screen so I don't see any stretching. If you want to send me your giant monitor I can provide the address.
I will look in to some improvements and maybe even increase the size.

Now there's an item that would puzzle young people today.
I have owned and used a number of them myself. I'm old enough to remember hearing them come over the intercom at school and announce that President Kennedy had been shot. Unfortunately, I lived in the wrong part of the world to have seen the first Dr Who episode air two days later.
We have a winner! The handle is from an early TrueTemper fiberglass rod. The handle portion is called a TrueTemper Speed Lock. Instead of holding the reel in place with some sort of screw mechanism just pull back on the latch which is spring loaded and slide the reel underneath then release the retainer.

Thanks for your response, Needa. Unfortunately, I got puzzled when I tried to take screenshots to show the problem. First I took a screenshot from one of your images that was displayed in the browser (stretched), then I clicked the image to open a floating viewer that contains your original image (smaller in better clarity) and took a screenshot. To my shock, when I opened the two screenshots they looked the same in size and clarity! Now I wonder maybe I have a somewhat defective monitor making visual illusion to me? Guess we'll never find a clear answer to this.@blackstar

Don't think it's the monitor more likely has to do with how the web browser is modifying the image to display it full screen. It is interesting in that we never know what another person sees when we post an image.Thanks for your response, Needa.

Should be yield to mangos.
