It will also be slow to load since it will be a large file. If you want someone using an 800x600 display to be able to see your image clearly, you need to change the size to, say, 600x400 pixels (remember the browser window is smaller than the full monitor display)."</i><br /><br />Bob Atkins (no relation to the Atkins diet creator), lays out the ins and outs of digital image aspect ratios and resizing. It's a great article for those who don't quite understand Pixels per inch from Dots per inch.
