How to make larger cel pix for gallery?

I've seen a few galleries that have larger images than what is normally created in Rubberslug. When you click on a thumbnail of a cel to view the information about that cel some galleries have a larger picture on the info page to view. How is this done? I hope my post doesn't sound confusing as to what I'm asking. :)

You have to turn off the option that says to "automatically scale images" and then you can upload whatever size picture you want. That also turns off the image splitter thingy that prevents people from one-click copying your images, tho.

Thanks for the help Gabriel. To bad there is a down side to it. Watermarking the images would help deter image theft wouldn't it?


EDIT: I just played around with the settings a little and have made the images the size I want and automatic scaling option is still set to yes. Thanks again for the wonderful help. :D

Well...it can help, if the image stealers are particularly lazy.

I myself don't worry about it tho. I mean, if someone "takes" the image so what? I'm the one with the actual item. And there is nothing you can do short of not posting your cels to totally prevent image theft. Let me tell you why:

In 10 seconds I can do a screen grab of any cel here that is split in four and cut out the actual cel image.

In under a minute I can wipe out most peoples watermarks such that you could not tell the image ever had a watermark.

In less than five minutes I can wipe out a very large fractal based watermark so that you can't tell it was ever there.

Even the worst kind of watermark - a very large multicolor one that obscures a large part of the cel and extends over a detailed watercolor background - I can remove those too.

Of course, most people aren't gonna go thru the effort - probably the best way to prevent casual image theft is to watermark and have your large images password protected. Me - I just don't worry about it. ;)
