The option to see a picture in large is for me one of the fine ones. I can't give a good comment and rating before I've seen the picture in large. So much goes lost in the small version, great details, overall atmoshere, the way a picture is worked on etc. And also negative aspects. unsharp. over saturated, compo flaws etc. are hard to see on a small picture.
Still, I notice that very, very few members take the time to see a larger version. A lot of pictures are placed with the request "please see the larger version" to urge people.
So, for the benefit of the comments and ratings and out of respect for all the fine pictures: Please look at the large version.

yes you are right about it.
honestly, i do not open them very often in the large view. why not? well, it is very unhandy if you have to click on the same picture 3 times to get it finally large!
there is also no possibility to go to the next picture when you click in it to read all comments (then you have first to close it, and get to the next one....  ) and then click again to enlarge it... there should be a option right in the very small window to enlarge it directly. then i would do it certainly more!!!

Bunny: there is no need to click 3x to get the large pic. There are 4 icons at the bottom right of the small pic, and the first one is (supposed to be) a magnifying glass: Enlarge!

so many times at woophy, and I've always missed this possibility, thanks Ortho.
Everytime you vote or comment a picture: I think you need to enlarge it first!

I quite agree with Martin (this very morning I sent a comment about a pic of his, saying that it had to be seeen full screen in order to be properly appreciated). Many pics look very attractive in the small format, but when you enlarge them they are blurred, or noisy. And some pics appear just so-and-so when you see them in small, and are gorgeous in full size...
Another warnig should be given, about the dimension of the file you upload. If you send a pic in a very big format, when you click the magnifying lens icon you get a huge image, too large for your monitor. It is not always nice to scroll it to watch it. I have noticed that the best option is to resize your image in order to make the longest side 950 pixels wide. For landscape format, it is great....

Martin, I agree completly with you. If I want to rate a picture I review the large version. Sometimes the picture is not as good as it seems in the small version (e.g. it is not sharp). In many pics you see great details only in the large version.
Greetings, Oliver

Something else to add to this thread is the use of different browsers.
I use myself Mozilla Firefox, in which you can choose in options to open a new "tab" or a new "window" when you click the enlarge button of a picture...........and don't forget the F11 key!! for full screen.....

I just found out: one click on the large picture will close it.

I always look at the enlarged picture, of course it does take you some more time, but there is no point in rushing through as much pictures as possible.
I rather look at a smaller number of pictures and enjoy the few I choose to look at.
It's somehow a bit like wine I suppose, you can enjoy easily 1 or 2 glasses but from the 3rd it's likely the taste is gone...

I fully agree with Nivad, I always look pictures in large format before commenting or rating. I prefer to see less pictures then many pictures at small format.
