Photo Sharing Site to Automatically Adjusts to Your Computer

Oct. 28, 2003 Smugmug, the easy photo sharing site with style, today introduced its "Elegant Small" gallery type to become the only photo sharing site that automatically adjusts to fit your monitor.

"Users love displaying big photos that let them see every eyelash," said Chris MacAskill, president of Smugmug, "which they cannot do on most photo sharing sites. But they also want to share their photo galleries with people who have older computers with small monitors and they want them to have a great experience too. It's now automatic."

The Elegant Small gallery type fits 800x600 monitors perfectly without scrolling and it loads fast, giving even modem-users a great viewing experience. But users with faster connections and higher-resolution monitors will automatically see a larger Elegant gallery type, which is unique to Smugmug. It provides larger photos and a great browsing experience with few clicks required to view an entire gallery.

Since the launch of the company earlier this year, subscribers have already uploaded more than 1 million pictures. Its users range from a leading presidential candidate to Peace Corps volunteers in Africa. Disc jockeys, monks, pro photographers, adventurers, car restorers, families, artists, businesses, government agencies, schools, and film producers all depend on Smugmug for an easy sharing experience that makes them look good no matter what computer their photos are viewed on.
