Recommended maximum image size
In order to fit images on a typical screen, most images will need to be reduced in size. The recommended maximum size is:
620 pixel (width) x 430 pixel (height)
If you do not know how to resize an image, call or email Charles or Jo-Ann.
This size allow the image to occupy most of the screen – the resident will need to scroll down to see the related questions.
