OK Tony,
I give up.
I'll bet I can count 10 times you said this:

Here I altered that antialias slider to LOW. I let QU downsize to 900x900.

I'll try that with a 900 x 900 one later this morning.

I tried Terry's idea. I used the Create Web Size copies in QU and created 900x900 images.

I guess you speak a different brand of English from mine.

Terry, please take over.

Terry,

You said "I use PBase, quite cheap and simple I am on the jAlbum email list and look at their offering from time to time. So much of it is fussy and slow and tricksy. "

I have just taken a look at PBase. It's not for me. My own web site is now around 17gb with around 70,000 images. I can also use it to host full sized files (as I explained yesterday) for downloading my clients which often is easier than emailing them. With my own site I can create folders and sub folders  and also password protect them if needed. Probably that is possible in PBase - but the thought of moving the whole 'bang shute' is scarey!

Setting BreezeBrowser at 900 by 900 enables me to load a variety of images of different shapes and the vertical is never more than 900 pixels. That was the point I was trying to get across yesterday. I do that as quite a lot of people looking at my web site are not computerate. They still think that scroll bars are old world coffee bars where people met to read scrolls!

I'll upload the next folder with the shots fully sharpened in QU and with no more sharpening from BB. I am not sure that I can stop it remaking the jpg. The trick of making the image setting 9999 by 9999 in BB is something I learnt several years ago and I cannot get Google to revive the source of the suggestion. I'll see if Chris Breeze can help.

Hi Tony,
PBase is good for anyone without their own web site.

Yes, that would be a serious problem. You have your own domain & web site so not much point in changing as it's all working for you.
I think I can see why you are using Breeze Browser; it makes the web page template too? I know little of HTML stuff except it useful to have software to do that with standard templates. Writing the HTML code could be a nightmare  Shocked

Indeed. Chucked in almost as a freebie it is jolly useful.

There are one or two developers who have written add-ons including one that operates PayPal and an order system. That signature on my 'large' photos that I am now using comes from BB. I used to have a right click protection that worked from a BB template but I found it was blocking the Previous and Next icons with IE so I stopped using it.

There are about twenty templates that come with BB - and quite a lot more that are downloadable from other users.

Terry,

BreezeBrowser will use the QU image unaltered. This from Chris Breeze yesterday.

"It will copy the original image file to the HTML folder if "Reuse existing images" is set and the width and height are the same size as or larger than the original and the file is not aleady in the HTML folder. "
