STEPHEN GAYFORD IMAGE PRINTS ON EBAY

While checking for Ebay auctions and
Stephen Gayford pictures...
I checked the images and their sizes...
and learnt something new...

Though images remain online for a few months,
it helps to know that we may get the different
sizes for images that better fit our web browser
window by editing a known image URL...

eg rename: letter l then 400 (400 pixels height).
We merely test what works for us, or use the
F11 key to increase the screen height a bit more
and later use F11 again to reset the height.

Once created, the right-click, Save As option
helps save an image, or edit the image name to
match the painting's title and its height size.

Remember there may be other ebay auctions for
the same print title. These may have even better
images with or without frames eg ebay search
auction description, title, usually viewing a
thumbnail shown as a 140 pixels image:

Right-click, Properties displays part of the URL.
3 clicks to select all. NB Control C to copy.

It helps to get to see the medium size image.

NB URL with that first d/ letter l then 225 for
medium 225 pixels image eg this type of URL:

We can edit 225 for a different size test:
250, 300, 375, 400, 450, 480, 500

Each image is created by Ebay and with a
different file size. The web browser displays
each with a small margin above and to the left.
These are alternatives to the mouse over way
to view the large image. Full large size image:

Such an auction display image may be medium,
large or even a giant size and still worth saving.
