On the internet you should always design for 800x600, which means your pictures should usually be sized for that resolution.
You can forget about the 640x480 (like my parents) as they are clueless and happily scroll the screen left and right to read each line of text in their aol browser, and refuse a higher resolution because it makes the icons small (the clueless are very, VERY picky about icons, as they have no idea how to launch anything that doesn't have a desktop icon).
But, there are a lot of 800x600 people out there. I myself do 1024x768 regardless of monitor size. I used to do 1600x1200, but I came to realize that it was stupid, no applications are optimized for a res that high.

My monitor is 21" running 1024 x 768 :)

i think you need to take a few steps back and re-shoot those pics
danny_galaga:
good work. that re-chroming sounds expensive...
you can modify your messages that have pics in them. just remove the pics while modifying. then when resized, put them back in. you will have to change the names of the pics though. just add a letter on the end...
then we can appreciate them properly :)

Optimized? In what way? As I said, I run 1280x1024 on my main 21" monitor (and 1024x768 on the secondary LCD - dual screens RULE!). That equals more screen room and more stuff visable in my web browser, Photoshop, Illustrator, 3D design programs, games, etc. Less time spent scrolling means more productivity. That's "optimized" enough for me.
