I've always used 512x512 when uploading pics into SL. I was just looking at the pic space in the Options Tab of About Land and it looks rectangular horizontally to me. It does not look the same size as the pic for profiles. Maybe it's an optical illusion. I'm not sure.
Any advice what the best sized pic to use for that area is?

Hi Bradley, They are indeed different sizes, oddly enough. Aspect Ratios ---------------- 2nd Life - Photo : 8 x 6 (4 x 3 - the same ratio as a standard monitor) Picks : 9 x 5 Classified : 9 x 6 (3 x 2) Not sure and can't check right now which one the about land one is to be honest. Hope this helps  |

Thanks for the responses. I'll give that size a try Incanus.

Oh just spotted Incanus' response.
That puts the about land image in the 3 x 2 bracket then.
Don't know who thought this up, but it must have been before coffee.

From: Sally Silvera Don't know who thought this up, but it must have been before coffee. Yes, they must have been in a grumpy mood that day. "Hmmm, having all pic specs be the same makes too much sense. I'll make sure I confuse them. Mwahaha!"

And, naturally, the Forum photo is still another ratio: 100 x 100.

From: Bradley Bracken Thanks for the responses. I'll give that size a try Incanus. I've been pondering on how to ask this..... oh well, I'll just go for it. Did that size fit your needs?  Inc
