Well as idividuals we each have our own resilution settings and monitor sizes. Wouldn't the result pixel size for each of us depend on those settings?

Sure, you can fill your monitor with that little image above if you wish, but you won't change how many pixels are being displayed. :wink:

If you're viewing an image that is 100X100 pixels, you can change the resolution of your monitor to make that image "appear" larger or smaller, but that image will aways be 100X100 pixels. All you're doing is changing the size of the pixels on your screen. That's why a higher resolution produces a sharper image. Low resolution spreads the pixels out more and makes things fuzzy. (in laymen's terms)

The forum uses code to reduce the size of the image displayed, which is a whole different conversation, having nothing to do with resolution.
 
Okay, has nothing to do with picture size but I have to ask and show my ignorance. Never had fancy fire side cooking gear. What's the vertical metal hotdog shaped object between the pan of bacon and the dutch oven?

It's called a "knife". :grin:
 
Now that I know, I see it. With the resolution on my phone the scales look hollowed out around a central shaft with the bolster looking like the base of whatever the scales were.

Duh :doh:

It's an old throwing knife with leather slabs. When I'm not throwing it, I use it to split kindling.

Opening the image in a new window gives you a better view.

Downloading the image and playing with the contrast and brightness helps, but mostly it helps knowing what is negative and positive space.


Although I could have just been distracted by all that bacon.
