How to best view this site

This is site is cross platform compatible but it is best viewed using Internet Explorer with a screen resolution of at least 1024x768 and with true colors set.  You will also want to be aware of Internet Explorer's Automatic Image Resizing feature

Setting screen Resolution

Screen ShotTo set the screen resolution you should find some empty section of your desktop, as in no icons or programs up and running. Right click anywhere in the empty section and the pop up window like the one below will pop up.  Select properties and left click.

 

 

 

(Note that I am assuming that you have a video card that supports the below setting.  Most computer that are less that 6 or 7 years old will support this setting)

screen shotThis will bring up the Display Properties page.

 Click on the Settings tab.

In the colors section click on the pull down arrow at select at least True Color (24 bit)

Auto-Resize and Panorama Shots
Some of the pictures on this site are wide-view shots made by connecting together several pictures.  These shots are almost certainly larger than your screen resolution.  If you are using a newer version of Internet Explorer it will automatically resize the picture to fit your screen.  This pretty much defeats the purpose of the panorama shot so you will need to work around this feature or disable it.

To Work around the feature
Screen ShotPlace your mouse over the lower right-hand corner of the image and in a second or so, the button to right will appear.  Click on it to return the image to it's normal size.  You will have to do this with each panorama shot.
