photo template with high display resolution

Hello

I notice that in demo your fullpage images are about 1700x 880 px. I am asking myself how these images look in screens > FHD; for example 2560x1600, 3200x1800 o 3840x2160.
Does it make sense fixing max width for these images for not loosing sharpness?

Thankyou for your time.

Doing images for big screens is a problem. If you decide to go into RWD, images usually will be big. They will not work fast on mobile devices. So its always a matter of finding a balance between image width/height and its size. From what I know right now they aren't many users having that huge skins. Analytic data shows that most users uses laptops like screen sizes so the problem isn't that huge. Adding max-width might help, but if a template is a fullscreen template, then max-width will simply make it look bad.

Yes, you are right about bad looking with max-width. Thankyou for your answer.

I'm just thinking about an idea... You could post two or three Image Show modules on homepage, each using different image sizes and then use @media-queries in override.css to decide which shows on what screen size. This way you might prepare one gallery for max 640px screen size, then next for max 1200px screen size and last one for bigger screens.
What is interesting - when an element is hidden by:

Code: Select all

display: none


in css, its content and images are not loaded by the browser. So even if your "hd" desktop images would be size heavy, they would not affect mobile users as long as they would be hidden.

Yes, could be a good solution but in my case it comes too fiddly because the site needs 4 languages therefore to many Image Show modules to publish. Maybe I do it for next project, thankyou.

I submited request for better rwd image support to our devteam and perhaps in near future NSP will have that kind of support.
Is there anything else I can help you with regarding this topic?

It's ok, thank you very much for your time.
