Bookmark“Mauretania”, THE Cunard Express Steamer, lots of questions…
Who knows the answer to this critical riddle? 
Problems encountered when trying to upgrade the image quality of this picture on the web site.
I have been unable to save larger images than about 22KB. Anything larger crashes both my PC’s
This web site page file (http://www.frickers.co.uk/marine-art/mauretania.html) has it’s origins in 1999, not long after we started building my original web site.
I have also added re written, improved title, nugget etc. to our database for my web master to upload as soon as he can.
The reason for our image download problems might be poor down loading by Itzac wifi during periods of high pressure. What do you think please?
Are the attached images of sufficient quality for the website, scale of 1 t0 10, 10 being best?
What image size is prefered for the web site?
Ref: pc screens, I am getting a very significant difference between my old PC with a 17″ old style monitor and the new PC with a new 22″ flatscreen.
Who knows a way to have all our screens compatable?
We have also learnt to beware image quality deteriorating in M/S Paint or similar popular programs.
For the moment we can work on a copy, keeping the original.
At least until we find some soft wear that can match our screens but where the what the who the???
It must exist, we can’t be the first with this problem?
This is a very common web site problem if one is to judge by the poor image quality of many other pictorial web sites.
By the way, there are at least 2 “official” spellings of Mauretania / Mauritania. I hope I have chosen the same one Cunard Line usually use?

Hi,
Firstly, you have the correct spelling there, the e not the i.
As for the image problems, I cannot for the life of me understand why 22kb pictures would crash your pc’s. As for the picture that is on the Mauretania page, all I would suggest is a clickable larger version (with some kind of watermark to prevent unauthorised copying), that way, people can see the detail.
I hope this helps

James, thank you for your helpful comment.
Re the PC crashing, it seems ok with 22kb but won’t accept anything bigger on the blog or the database at present.
We use the latter to store work in progress for the web site.
You possibly appreciate, a constant concern of mine is to improve the web site?
I am also very aware, after many people have remarked, to the effect, pictures on the web site look great but seeing the originals is altogether a different experience.
We are making progress however a current issue is to find a way for my web master to view the pictures as they appear on my PC – he is in England, I am in France.
That’s an improvement in it’s self, he was in Australia – but those are other stories!
Hence the on going problem of how to improve and maintain picture quality

PS we don’t mind people having low quality copies if they are happy with that and credit us, for example for private or educational use.
If some one wants real quality, they should speak with us or buy a print / original, easy to do from this site using Paypal.
