Following a brief discussion on the subject I've rebuilt the SuperSize photo page with the following improvements:

1, If you're viewing your own photo you don't see the "copyright username" watermark across it.

This means you can view your own photos a very big size un-watermarked, so if you need to you can save them back to your computer 🙂

Note: everybody else will still see the watermark on your photos.

2, The code that delivers the photo is now a lot cleverer, so will deliver the photo at full size if the original uploaded photo was quite small (below 1,600 pixels along the longest edge) rather than trying to upscale it.

3, But if the original photo was big enough then SuperSize photos are now delivered about 25% bigger than they were :)

4, And finally the quality the outputted photo is now higher so every single photo on the site will look sharper at SuperSize

Enjoy 🙂 :flowers:

very cool code!

(engage nosey geek mode)

are you generating the supersize on the fly as requested, so as it condition wether to watermark it?? (or just holding 2 copies?)

I tried something similar using both GDlib and ImageMagick frameworks but found it loaded the server to much

Really nice job Simon, such an improvement.

(Now for a grovel) any chance of navigation arrows on either side of images, whether in personal photos or the mine specific albums? this would remove the need to be flipping back and forth from supersize to thumbnail and back. :flowers:
