NEW: the Mediagallery
« on: 21-Jul-2010, 16:04:08 »
Okay guys, new board and now with a decent media gallery! If all is right you should see a link in the topbar to "media".
Much easier to work with, and it gives us a few options.

One of the things I was thinking about is giving our photographers each their own gallery. This way you can put some of your pictures in the gallery and then place a link to your topic on this site. If you would do that for each topic you create, it's very easy for people to just search the gallery and find every album you made.
Every picture gets resized to 1024px max.

If you want to use this feature, send me a message and I'll enable your own little space in the gallery. If not, no harm done ;)

It's just a suggestion.

Dani & yeck, you both have your albums. You're the first testpersons, let me know if there are any problems...

[edit]
Found a little problem, you can't edit your own album title or description. You can add photo's and so on.
I'll look further into it to see if I can solve the little glitch.

Sounds cool! With this amount of great photographers here it's a  nice feature to have!



I'd make a suggestion though. Instead of having a small "random image" on the right sidebar of the front page, it'd be a lot cooler to have one or two big ones in the middle of the page. This would show the images off much better imho!

I've been thinking about that also.
Will test with it a bit in the upcoming days...

[edit]
Found some time to change some settings.

For the picture guys, you can post more then one pic for each topic if you want, or just some random pictures you took. There's enough space on the server...

Guess I could upload some of my shots from the Vintage Races that I've taken over the previous years.

You have an album, you should be able to access it under the media section...

Question: my pics are 3264x2448 and between 1.25 and 1.85MB. Gallery limit is 1MB. What dimension do my pics have to come down to in order to make the limit  :?

Gallery automatically resizes them to 1024px. If they are that size they are mostly way under 1mb.
It's just to keep the filesize a bit under control. If people want a full size they can always request one...

well, purely mathematically, if I'm assuming the amount of information per pixel remains the same:
 
current # pixels: 7.990.272
desired # pixels: 7.990.272 / (anywhere from 1.25 to 1.85) = between 5.113.382 and 4.319.066
required resolution:
width = (root of [between 5.113.383 and 4.319.066]) * (4/root of [4*3]) = between 2261 and 2399
height = (root of [between 5.113.383 and 4.319.066]) * (3/root of [4*3]) = between 1958 and 1799

basic formula:
width = (root of [(current width * current height) / (current filesize / desired filesize)]) * (width ratio / root of [width ratio * height ratio])
height = (root of [(current width * current height) / (current filesize / desired filesize)]) * (heigth ratio / root of [width ratio * height ratio])

but given thamar's post, that formula is pretty much redundant :)
