Title: Size of preview images. Maybe too big?
Post by: Chico on April 15, 2013, 11:04

Not a priority, but...

I think it's more a concern for vector people. Perhaps our preview is a little big. I can easily download JPG, put it in illustrator and trace it, transforming JPG in a vector file, even with watermarks.

My suggestion:  would be good if we could generate smallers previews.

Current actual size for reference.

I think if we have smaller previews then we would need a magnifying glass type widget to enlarge certain parts , especially with photos so customers can see what they are buying.  This is something I have been thinking of anyway but not got around to

I would like to have some check box with sizes avaliable.

Current image is 590x445 (100%)

Maybe two more options

443 x 334 (75%)

295 x 223 (50%)

Large size not only helps customer but also (yes, I sound like a broken record) is good for SEO. Large images more valuable.

However if people keep requesting it I will make this a changeable value.

I don't have a problem with the current size. I think if you can autotrace your images in Ai you need a better watermark.

I don't speak about autotrace, I never use it.
