Ideal photo size for MFC password-protected gallery??

[Chloe_Stars]

Hey guys! This is my first post, and I apologize in advance if it has already been covered in another thread. I have spent soooo much time educating my self on becoming a cam girl, getting my profile ready, etc, and I really just need a quick answer if somebody could help. I'm going to upload my first batch of pics to the password protected gallery on MFC, I know I can use Gimp to scale the pic size down, what is the ideal size to make them? I am clueless, and don't want to make them too big. Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!

Just curious, why don't you want to leave them bigger? Is there anything wrong with that?

no lol, not to sound like a total technologically-challenged dumbass, but I didn't know if the file size being too big would cause a problem.... if that's not the case I guess I'll just go with whatever the default is...thanks

As a model this may be different amounts for you, but on my side MFC picture uploads are limited to 8MB per picture. I have a 16mp camera that usually takes around 6MB per picture at the highest resolution setting. So if you wanted to leave them original as the camera/webcam took them it shouldn't be a problem as far as i can see.

And this is just my personal opinion here but I tend to like the bigger file sizes. For one thing, someone may want to put your picture as their wallpaper or screen saver. Having a bigger file let's them crop in and save to the resolution they need to make it look good on their monitor/phone screen. Also just printing up one to put in a frame or something, bigger file size prints up nicer.

And if the original is 1920x1080, or bigger, you can say they are HD Photos. A lot of models will put that in their description and then when you get them they are less than 800X600 low res photo's. That's actually a bit annoying when that happens.

So, i'd keep them bigger if you can, less work to not have to resize them anyway.

Personally, I'd just as soon images be limited to the size of my screen. I don't plan on printing them so, why make them life sized? Oh, I suppose in some instances pervs such as myself may want to zoom in on a nipple.

I always hated MFC's password galleries. I know it is more trouble for the model, but I always preferred to get pictures in a zip file.

You may be onto something there.

Personally I prefer as big as possible, just for future-proofing.

What is considered a normal size now will be quite small in a monitor from a few years from now. For example, files I got from 5 years or more ago now look horribly small, even though they were standard-sized back then (800x600 initially, then 1024x768)... And now, resolutions like 2560x1600 (granted, on a gigantic monitor) and 2880x1800 (Mac Retina display) are common, with 4K (3840 x 2160) slowly coming around (should take another 3 years or so to become more common on businesses and then 2 more years for end-users).

I would agree, if they were high definition at 100% viewing, but most of the huge images I've seen in galleries have to be reduced just to look normal.

I have to poke around and see if I can find some large pictures now, but I do recall seeing quite a few large pictures that looked fine at 100% scale on a macbook pro retina, but I dont remember if they were in public galleries or password-protected ones (and also new or old galleries - maybe MFC does/used to do some server-side processing to reduce the file size and ended up reducing the quality too much).
