Sj added these comments in the current discussion du jour ...

Sj, as I've said, I really don't recall where I got your scans
from, I do know it has been awhile. I monitor some of the NGs you
listed above and dozens of others. Not all of them are car NGs by
any means. As to "wallpaper" dimensions, that's all been thrown
out the window with the current fad of 16:9 widescreen monitors
pushing us 4:3 fans to the sidelines.


It doesn't matter where you got it ... & I don't post to wallpaper
'cause they want certain dimensions, which get posted every
week ... the last time some of the regulars wanted something
of mine, which was maritime art, I posted the stuff to misc &
here ...

My monitor is set at 1280 x 1024 ... those are my guidelines ...

I scan first for myself, then I share what I wish to share ... &
it most definitely is a hobby ...

Agreed, it is a HOBBY! Seems like some folks - not you, me, or Bouler
- DO care about getting credit and DO care so much about things like
image quality that it becomes an obscession. As to the "wallpaper"
folks wanting a specific aspect ratio, that is indeed in their FAQs
and in the graphic examples they post once a month. But, whether one
likes 1280 x 1024 as you do or 1280 x 960 like I do, it shouldn't
really matter to those who READ our work. At one time until just last
summer, I always cropped to 4:3 often forcing less than optimal
composure in the vain belief that I should try to fill my screen.
Then, I started at least looking at wide-screens. Didn't buy one,
still don't like them, but I DID rethink my cropping and NOW crop for
best composure and aspect ratio be damned. Now, if that gets me in
trouble in some NGs, that's OK.
