Can we get vertical L be, in fact, large, not tiny?

Horizontal Large shots are displayed 600x800. Not much, but at least vieweable.
Vertical ones, however, are 600x400. To my taste, this is WAY small. And since this is a layout called "portrait" (and it was not called "portrait" for nothing) it means all the actual portraits, on which we treaure every little detail, are displayed in de-facto medium resolution...:dunno

I know, I know... Somebody in god-forgotten place would have 640x480 CGA monitor and they would complain...
But you know what - I don't care! My customers have large modern computers and large screen high resolution monitors. If somebody else does not - well, they better upgrade.. Chances are they would never get to look at my pictures - unlike my customers, who surely do & will. So, explain to me, please: why do I pay $100 a year to get a matchbox-size portrait pictures?

That my rant for today, thank you for listenting!

    They used to be a decent size. Now, all of a sudden (well, "Hitchhikler guide to the galaxy"s Vogon's style of warning does not count - I didn't get any emails or any messages in my control panel) they down to a match box. How am I supposed to show my work to an existing/future customer now? Unlock the originals? ne_nau.gif

    Cheers, and happy BD!iloveyou.gif

    Nik, I know you're mostly joking about getting Andy's attention, but he gives everybody a great deal of attention, flaming mad, or not!

    I feel the same about the change of the portrait large size. Even though I did follow the thread I didn't get what size change was about to happen and then realized it as I looked at my new large portrait shots...

    I really want the 600x800 back!
