Definitely.

It's a screen resolution issue. You must be set to 800 or 1024 or something?
That IS old. Haha. Especially for any kind of visual work on a 'puter'.

I don't want to derail this thread anymore tho. Sorry.

Captain, actually i had no idea it was gonna repeat like that....i've never seen it do that on any of the computers i've looked at it on (ex: work, friends, my 2) lol but i'm sure it probably does lol. Thank you for your nice comments granny i really want it to be better but i have to find the time to figure out what direction i'm going to take with and also if i can figure out a better way to put it together. (i made the whole thing on photoshop and it really took forever because i was using yahoo site builder to actually create and publish it.) oh, and what did you do to make her hair look so shiny? i like it Thank you Damo, i thought so to since it actually needed work...plus it was my first picture of a real person with my new camera (i've been following my dogs around with it lol) and i was just excited to post it....yes it wasn't the best pic but hey, i was at work...i couldn't expect too much.
I can't wait to actually get a good pic from my camera that i put some time into, so when i post it maybe then there won't be so much controversy

No, CaptainHook's right. I've got a very big screen here, and sure enough, the site is repeated across it.

[yelhsaneerg]

yeah i wasn't saying it didn't...i was just saying i've never had it happen on any othe screens i've viewed it on so i wasn't aware of it.
what resolution or whatever do i need to set it to when creating the site....i don't remember what i have it set on now, just whatever some tutorial told me to set it to.

[CaptainHook]

Having your website a fixed pixel width OR height is asking for trouble.
Everyone has theirs set different. Try go for a design that isn't that
way reliant, or use different code that will repeat the image in x and y.
(again the design has to work that way)

Read through the photobucket FAQ. They only allow 1024 by X pixel size images in free accounts I believe. Maybe you uploaded a full 10.1 MP image but photobucket resized it down?
Flickr isn't much different according to this page.
Imageshack limits file size to 1.5MB but I don't think they resize it unless you specifically use their resize option when uploading.
Bayimg doesn't have a limit on resolution or size as far as I know.
The best option IMO for uploading full size, full resolution images is to just upload the file to your website's server (since I know you have a website ) instead of using a free image hosting site. I feel that I have more control over my images that way at least.

As for camera settings, dpreview.com may have what you need if that's what the problem actually is.

the site is very nice and elegant and shows an artistic and fantasy attitude but it looks wrong for those having a screen resolution higher than 1024. I see you set the width at 1024 but you used a program so I cannot send you the codes to fix it. What you should do is to check if you can
- put a plain background (better if the same green of now or even better totally different like black or white)
- center what you created in the browser. your program should have this feature

also the links are not perfectly aligned with the buttons and the font (of the buttons) is not a very good choice. And the text has not enough contrast.

Believe me, your site is very nice and I really hope you don't get upset. But I saw your manipulations: it's very good and I feel you need a more professional look for your site, more in line with your work.
If you can fix those little problems your professional imagine will increase. A site is a sort of business card, I only wanted to tell you how to print it more sharply!

[yelhsaneerg]

thanks for your input MYFAIRIES.... i still haven't even tried to fix it lol it seems like i've been pretty busy but i'm not planning on promoting the site until it gets to look the way i want it to which is something i can never seem to make happen. i always have the visual in my head and i just can't get the programming to work lol. i'll have to take the time and study the issue of the screen resolution a little while because it was giving me major problems. anyhow, thanks for ur comments on my retouches

[butterfly223198]

Well I don't care about the resolution lol if it's clear enough I can photoshop it. And I just went absolutely crazy with this one lol can you even tell it is her?

I think, an image is not bad at all, opposite - quite interesting from the point of view different approaches to color correction. She has really nice skin, and face is very interesting.
