Thanks a lot!
[possibly OT] I tend toward 1800p for random online sharing and 3600p for high res sharing. ymmv.
maybe there is a solution using simple HTML
Opening a larger resolution image in a new tab on your own web space
I’m attempting an example below
In this version the image is a background image and is therefore more difficult to copy
I’m sure people could come up with better code maybe I will when I revisit all of this redoing my portfolio site
i think there is a stat saying that 80% of users look at the internet with a phone
I’m guessing that forum design reflects this
i’m hoping the above works on all devices and is responsive i have only checked it on a Linux desktop
it is not just about the UI … we also pay for storage and things. nobody needs 10-20MB jpegs. really. the raw + sidecar file is for pixel peeping.
No problem with you making that point
the point of doing a bit of HTML is that the large file is not on your server and is about 400kb if the code was done as a background image then it would be less easy to be copied
So it might help the UI issue and the large file issue
i have seen some impressive jpg images on here and even if they had been larger files i would not have been able to view them easily without copying them and reopening them which few people have time to do
It would be good to do them justice if people are prepared to take the risk of plagiarism
I think I could make the Olympic team for hard luck plagiarism stories
New here … is it possible to put BBcode or HTML in a post?
Thanks … testing BBcode:

ka-pow, it worked.
Thanks again.
When I tried to drag & drop my image, it reported my image has zero bytes.
Have you tried again?
Generally, I upload JPEGs around 1500 px wide but with 100% quality and full chroma sub-sampling (4:2:0).
Please apply some compression.
OK. 90% quality.
I’ve been playing with libavif and JPG conversion. And wow the files are so much smaller. It would be good if the forum can display AVIF files inline. I think it was being investigated, but I assume there is some backend limitation?
AVIF is supported by the forum. Can you not upload that format?
I’ve never seen anyone use it. Though it appears I’ve remembered wrong. When I try to upload AVIFs exported by darktable it throws a PNG to JPG conversion error. But this doesn’t happen on all files. Samples from the libavif repository on GitHub uploads okay.
Is it possible to support webp?
