Uploading image

[Michiel Spape]

Just to add a little bit more to my previous mail:
When you say: 'although I still have to see if it's true in pixels as well', it seems you fail to see what exactly digital images are. Images, in particular bitmap images, do not have a size *other than pixel-size*. As such, an image of 100 x 100 pixels will inevitably take up 100/1024 x 100/768 space on your monitor, should your monitor be set to 1024 x 768, unless you stretch the image over a different number of pixels (which usually leads to quality degrading results).
Best,
Mich

Hi Liw,
thanks for your detailed reply-I will try your solutions, in the
meanwhile just wanted to add that
the size of the Image is smaller than the size of the display
(although I still have to see if it's true in pixels as well)..
Best Wishes
