Flickr--Downloading Images

[neuroanatomist]

Scrolling a few people, either they upload a maximum file size or they have this feature set at a minimum value: Bryan appears to have his set at 3000 pixels. Sapna Reddy at 1600 pixels. Neuro's file size is 2048 pixels.

Wasn't even aware of the setting, and mine is on the default of 'best display size' that according to Flickr is currently a maximum of 2048 pixels for free accounts, and 6144 pixels for Pro accounts (I have a Pro account).

Initially, I downsized images to 1600 pixels (longest dimension). Some time back, I started using 2400 pixels.

Note that even without Save As from the contextual menu, nothing would prevent someone from taking a screenshot. On the ultrawide display I'm sitting in front of, a full screenshot is 6720 × 2834 pixels (which is still only 12 MP for a 3:2 image).

Yep, understood. In that scenario, there are a couple of reasons why the screen shot image would be degraded, 1) many of those pixels would be interpolated; and 2) At least when I screenshot something, I notice a degradation of IQ.

While I won't say I am ok with people downloading even low resolution images without my consent, assuming they might have been, I definitely want as much control as possible over the high IQ variations of my images.
