FULL SCREEN SLIDESHOWS!

Having used a computer, as well as
some Internet devices, to view and
save images, I know that there are
PC programs, as well as the Google
Play Store apps that can be used to
display images in a full screen style.
I've created the Fantasy Art demo
to display such artwork collections.
I've even edited the original art
images to highlight details better.

With Stephen Gayford images,
it's not as easy to do this, because
most ebay images are the framed
art and not always captured as
well as professional photographers
and editors and website designers.
Some images are not correctly
aligned or in focus anyway and
may include some reflections that
show the photographers, too...

Even so, there are several full art
images without any extra white
space around the art itself and
without a gold or silver frame...
When we right-click an image,
or choose some other way to save
an image, or a complete web page,
we really ought to check Google
for Stephen Gayford images, too.
We can then use the Search Tools
option for image size ranges eg
large only, or 2 MB or higher...
Whatever gets us high quality,
hi-res or high resolution images.

Perhaps we use photo editors
installed on our PCs, or use the
various online editors, or apps.
The Gadget Show, here in the UK,
recently featured Android apps
that allow us to test what features
are user-friendly for amateurs,
not just the professionals...

I've used Paint Shop Pro for years
and can crop images, rotate them,
resize and reshape them, plus add
fancy frames to match the style
of Stephen Gayford artworks...

I've also tested Android apps,
some highly recommended on the
Google Play Store. Even so, it helps
to maintain Android devices and
close apps to release extra storage
space for our immediate editing
to continue to work for us...

A Google search for recommended
photo editing and slideshow apps
will also help beyond what the
Google Play Store search option
provides. Also check app web pages
for links to the creators' websites.

Nowadays, there is video content
for 4K or Ultra HD quality...
Most of my UK Freeview shows
were recorded on a Fetch TV
Smartbox in the MP2 format.
Though bid tv and price-drop tv
UK shopping channels have gone,
they were in standard definition,
yet today's video editor programs
can create better quality versions.
Some website designers would
merely create animated gifs or the
swf file format versions instead.
I prefer a slideshow the website
visitor controls in a click-a-pic
style when the visitor wants to
view the next slideshow image.

Once I got my website online,
I was able to create web pages
for each full screen image so
that there was no web page
margins, top, base, left or right.
No scrollbars, as these weren't
required, just click the image
to get the next to load up.
Even here, some web designers
could create some use of the
pre-fetch action that loads up
a collection of images prior to
their being viewed on screen.

I kept the web page text simple,
so I could get on with about 500
for the Fantasy Art demo to work
for several Fantasy Art galleries.
Once known, the web pages were
easier to test. I used thumbnails
to display the galleries and then
it's just a matter of clicking for
that first thumbnail image.

Don't think this demo was just for
a medium size PC monitor, as it
was for the Netgem iPlayer to
display full screen on our TVs.
This Internet box was before the
Fetch TV Smartbox and it was
better at viewing websites. That
meant medium and large TVs
really showing the big picture.

Google Mini Slideshow option:

By the way, when we visit Google
for search results, the image tab
then displays a collection of images
and if we click one, it opens a black
screen area with that image and
links to it separately, as well as its
website, or web page. A few extra
images appear on the right to view
these, too. Next is a right arrow
that loads the next Google image,
In effect, it's a limited slide show.

Furthermore, we can select the
choice of a website, rather than
every available website. So we
may select a free-to-use images
website like unsplash.com or
pixabay.com instead. Adding a
keyword helps refine the results:

eg type in this test phrase...

site:www.unsplash.com tiger

or

site:www.pixabay.com lion

Google then loads up website
links so we switch to click the
images tab instead then select
the first image and begin our
very own mini slideshow.

Scroll down a web page display!

An alternative of a side-by-slide
slideshow is when we find a
collection of images, such as in an
Internet website's directory eg
Index of...

We merely click on the selected
image filename based on its
file size, avoiding any obvious
smaller file thumbnail images...
If we use a website editor, we can
edit and create the extra web page
that displays all these images and
just load that up and scroll down the
web page instead. Or adjust the
width= value to pixels or the screen
width percentage. We can set the left
and right margin to zero and then we
can view so much better than before.
A more advanced option is editing
the picclick image results from the
smaller or the larger images up to
the best sizes available eg the s-l1600
size for ebay auction images...
