I am curious to know how many prefer the ability to download pics. I have downloaded many and it seems that normally there is not much enhancement. I know it doesn't cost more,just wondering. :-)

It depends on the image size. If the download image is only slightly larger than the posted image the download is not worth as much.

I appreciate the added details of the larger size, the ability to zoom it, and of course the EXIF info. In many cases the EXIF info is more important as it shows the camera settings used, which to me is a great learning tool.

Thanks,Don. Enough said. I figured that my contribution would most likely show what not to do! LOL.

Seriously,EXIF data can be helpful to some.

The ability to zoom.so as to see feather detail on bird photos. and to see exif data is very helpfull. (but I have to say it sometimes really pisses me off because it proves just how inadequate I am as a photographer)

If you want people to work on your image you need to store original. The thumbnails UHH posts otherwise do not have sufficient pixels to work with.
