Showed my friend my custimizing in early stages and he complained the photos are small (not 1200x1200+) and that they looked blocky.

Suggestions?

Thanks

    You are only allowing small and mediums, maybe he thinks his is better if he shows larger images on his site :)

    I don't see anything blocky about them. Though, on a high res screen larges can look small, but anything bigger than 800 on a side is just asking for people to steal the photos.

    Agreed 100% One solution is to have a barely visible watermark that you have to really zoom in on to actually see. Then you would have solid evidence of theft.

    is he trying to use the slideshow? if you try full screen slideshow, smugmug will upsize the largest allowable pic (Mediums in this case) to make the full screen pic.... not pretty
