Optimum size for a full browser width image?

Hi all,
I'm pretty new to Muse and these forums (hello everyone!) and have been tinkering around with some features.
I'm currently creating a website for my band that integrate a full width browser image at the top of each page. I was wondering what the optimal settings are for the image size to make this work? It all currently works fine, but on larger screens the image is so zoomed in it's impossible to make out what it's of! The site is designed for smaller screens so this works fine, I was mainly wondering if there's a recommended size to optimised the images too for the width.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards, Ekke

This must be a hard question to answer...for anyone...because I have tried many times before to get this question answered. I have looked at other examples of Muse sites and I have decided to go with a 2000 width for my images when I want to go full screen. I have no idea if this is correct but I get good results pertaining to how it looks. Now, I don't know if it is the optimum size in terms of download speed. No one will touch this question thus far. My research came from looking at what others did that built Muse sites as a profession.
The Muse team should address this topic of optimal images for all platforms and how images can be used throughout the build not only for the above stated but for efficiency of site building.

  • Full browser width image with tiled pattern not previewing or publishing.

    Using the rectangle tool to create a full browser width image, I filled it with a tiled pattern and added a drop shadow. This 80px tall rectangle serves as the background bar of my top menu navigation. Everything looks great when building in Muse CC, but when I go to preview or publish, it's missing altogether.
    Any ideas?

    Looks like you have deleted the site now. If you were experiencing any errors during publish, most likely it happened due to the recent outage with BC with loading of assets to sites hosted on US DC - http://status.businesscatalyst.com/.

  • Full Browser width slideshow ... can Muse do it (naitively)?

    Hi All,
    I'd like to place a full browser width slideshow into Muse.
    Is there a simple clean way to do this?
    I know there is a 'work around'  method (discussed at http://forums.adobe.com/message/5359472#5359472) , but I'd like to avoid it.
    Many Thanks!
    Gary

    Muse supports full screen slideshow since the release of Muse 7. Take a look at the video here - http://tv.adobe.com/watch/muse-feature-tour/adobe-muse-november-2013-new-fullscreen-slides how/.

  • What is the optimum size for a WIFI subnet ?

    For LAN design fine,  keep the broadcast domain to an optimum size. What about WIFI design though ?  I want to use just 1 SSID and can have multiple vlans if I use AP groups on the controller..But how big is optimum size for a WIFI subnet ? I guess it depends on required speed, number of AP ,vlans and traffic profiles, but are there any recommendations ?
    Stu

    Hello,
    Great question
    First, if you are using a WLC, the WLC will proxy the broadcast for the clien so that it wont be sent over the wireless. With that being said, you will typically see larger subnets on the WLC solution. For exmaple, we have /21 here and they work fine for our voice, data and video SSIDs. Although, some people like smaller subnets and deploy ap groups accordoningly.
    Although, I have seen subnets on WiFi voice as a /16 with 5,000 phones in the subnet which to my surprise worked well. Of course, I wouldnt have designed it that large.
    If you are autonmous same holds truse, but if you configure the AP to send over the broadcast to the wifi clients you should consider a smaller subnet like a /23 or /24.
    As to client mix. Most folks will have a Voice SSID, Data SSID, Guest SSID so you can shape these accordiingly. Again, typically all my designs lead with a /21 or /22.

  • Dreamweaver: How do I ensure my video is always the full browser width, but a fixed height?

    I don't care if the video crops vertically or horizontally, but I want to it be responsive to the full browser width, yet a fixed height (400px or so). Like this: http://www.anthonydesigner.com/
    Thank you kindly.

    Apply style rules as in

  • Muse 7.0 plus Chrome: browser does not show images full browser width

    Hi there,
    I have a serious problem with the latest Muse version: the images which I use as parallax-masks for the background won't work with Chrome, though Safari and Firefox are not showing any problems. The issue: Chrome does either not scale the images to 100% browser-width or does not show them at all, or even shows the images cut into narrow stripes. This problem did not show in the previous version of Muse.
    Of course I already restarted application and computer. System: Mac OSX Mavericks.
    What to do now? The presentation with the client is very soon and this bug makes me very nervous.
    Best,
    bartl

    The problem bartl encountered and reported was fixed by the 7.1 release (November 21st). The problem you're describing sounds different.
    As of yet, I'm unable to reproduce what you're describing. The URL you've provided views the same in all the browsers I've tried, Chrome (32.0.1700.77) and non-Chrome, Mac and Windows.
    That said, looking at your master page I don't think you've created what you intended. At present there are two full screen slideshows on your A-master. On contains no images and the other contains a single image. Both are set to have thumbnails and the thumbnails container is off the right side of the page.
    If you look at your "Master Slideshow" layer in the Layers panel, you'll see the two slideshows. I think you'll want to delete one of them and, given your design, turn off thumbnails for the remaining one.
    Also, if you don't plan to have multiple images in the full screen slideshow, you'd be better off using a background fill image rather than the slideshow widget.
    I remain a bit puzzled how/why you're seeing different behavior in your instance of Chrome. Have you cleared your browser cache?
    On an unrelated note, if you set the page fill and stroke to none and set the browser fill to the most common color from the garage door image, it will avoid the momentary appearance of a white page on a grey background when your home page first loads. Instead the site visitor would see a blank page that's the most common color from the slideshow image, until that image loads.

  • Right Side Red Line will not appear for full browser width.

    I had my top navigational bar set up to fill in a 100% browser width. Now, only the left side red line will appear and the right side will not work.
    http://waketestbykerry.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Ah, I understand now. Menus will stretch to 100% browser width in terms of any background applied to the top level Menu widget, but the actual items will not be stretched or fitted at the moment. I'd recommend adding that to our ideas section so that others can vote on it. It would also help if you clarify what you'd expect. Would you want the menu items to grow, or the space between them? And what would you expect if one of the menu items became too long for the container? Should the text wrap, or should it not be able to get smaller than that?

  • What Is The Best All-round Canvas Size For A Web Browser

    What is the best all-round canvas size when authoring a swi
    for a web browser? by this I mean best for authoring without
    scrollbars. I know a chap whose screen res is 800x600 and who has
    every single toolbar displayed in IE, leaving around 400pixels in
    height free. For crying out loud.
    I once sat with a bloke who uses Courier New set at 36pt as
    his default browser font. Ouch. I sat there transfixed, not
    believing what I was looking at; to this day I have no recollection
    of our conversation, so stunned was I.
    I've used 780x410, 800x600, 770x540 and I'm going nutsoid
    trying to find the best compromise; whatever size I use, distortion
    creeps in if accompanied with an "exactfit" value, especially if
    the height and Width values are set at 100%.
    Beats me.
    What are you guys using?

    personally avoid scaling, especially filling up user window.
    more and more really high resolution monitors out there,
    the larger the screen the more CPU it sucks...
    Don't follow the exact screen size like 800x600 as it is
    never the
    browser ratio, must consider the browser chromes.
    I will design something within that size or slightly larger
    and use the
    around margin to incorporate graphics as part of the design.
    Sometimes even smaller than that and centralized. Depends on
    amount
    of content.

  • Optimum Size for Web Gallery

    In trying to set up galleries that have quick view time, I'm trying to follow iPhoto advise and use a Medium sized photo for Web Galleries. iPhoto help sez:+When you send, print, or publish a photo from your iPhoto library, you need to choose the right size+. For me that would be Medium size.
    However I can find no place to determine size. How can I choose the size I want to use?

    smidi:
    I believe that statement pertains to situation where you can control the size of the file to be used. However, in publishing a Web Gallery iPhoto determines the size. If you don't select the option to have viewers download the photos then the image size is 800 x 600 pixels. If you selected the download option then the full sized file is uploaded for viewer to download.
    For emailing, if you use Mail, you will get a window which lets you select the size of image/file to send. For printing you want to use the largest size you can so you get the max resolution available.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • What is best "size" for Share- Media Browser then iDVD?

    What is the best "size" to "Share to Media Browser"? What is the closest equivalent to the format that iDVD burns movies at?
    I don't want to waste time using Large if it converts it to something like Medium uses. There is nothing on the list about DVDs. Just iPods, .Mac, YouTube, Apple TV, computer ...
    Note: The current video camera I have is a standard definitive Sony TR730 digital video camera. Most of the time our relatives borrow our video camera to take stuff. None of them have an HD video camera.

    I also know that iMovie '06 is a dead product.
    Of the dozen or so people that I know making movies with iLife 08, all use iMovie 06 for most of their movie making.
    Please bear in mind I am NOT an "iMovie 08 hater" (I use both iMovie 08 and iMovie 06). iMovie 08 is a wonderful program assuming that you're using it for what it was designed to do, assemble simple videos to share on the Internet.
    I use iMovie 06 (with iDVD 08) if I think I will ever put a movie on a DVD.
    Remember that Apple includes iMovie 06 as a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!).
    Also when you install iLife 08, iMovie 06 is not removed from the computer. Previous editions of iMovie were always un-installed when upgrading in the past. Apple leaves iMovie 06 on your system, because they want you to have it.
    Want a DVD, use iMovie 06.
    Want YouTube, use iMovie 08.
    Just my 3 cents (inflation).

  • Manually setting up size for shapes or stroke width bug

    Hi everybody,
    Since I installed Photoshop CC 2014 I have the most annoying problem.
    I can't seem to change the sizes of my shapes or the stroke width manually.
    So let's say I created a square of 150x150 and I want a new size of exactly 126x126, I can't write the exact size in the top field.
    I write it and, once I press tab to leave the field, it puts back the previous value.
    Same for stroke width. I'm obliged to use the slider to be able to change the width of my stroke - which obviously is everything but precise.
    I don't know if I missed something but this is the first time is happening since I'm using Photoshop.
    Thanks for your help!
    Doro.
    UPDATE 29/01/15
    This is coming a bit late but it seems we found where the bug is coming from.
    I'm using a macbook pro retina 13 with a french keyboard. To type a number I need to press shift + the number.
    So to get back to my example I want to change the size of 150px to 126px. I would write the number 126 in the size field and to do so I would need to press the button shift + 126. The fact is that once you're interacting with the size field in the top menu, it seems that the shift button triggers the path operation "combine shapes"  and overrides my action of typing a number.
    Let us know if you can do something about it.

    hi Y. BIG time thank you for this. i was not aware this was such an issue. i definitely cannot have any ambiguities in my spreadsheet and customizing it in numbers is the whole reason i am spending this time formatting (i.e. to make it intuitive and visual).
    that said, if accepting excel and then exporting to excel will cause problems i absolutely cannot have this.
    can you help me a little more on what the problems are? i have already got a file with two tabs directly imported from Quickbooks (by my book keeper in excel) and a tab that she set up that pulls data from these tabs - and then i have MY tab that i have been customizing and proofing and fixing as i go along. more info on this work below.
    are there commands i can run to clean this up?
    what is considered OK to do in numbers if i am accepting excel (printing? adding new numerical entries)?
    THANK YOU
    background: right now i am /mostly/ doing formatting things like adding bold outlines or adding color or whatever but i have /also/ been dragging and dropping some rows to put them in a better place and fixing some cell sums that were either left out by my book keeper or which needed to be added to check THEIR work. are you saying that by doing this i am setting myself up for various formatting issues such as merged cells?
    if so, once i finish the format of the spreadsheet and the tabs i can only exclusively open in numbers if this is necessary. are there some commands i can run to "clean up" issues? for instance can i go around the various tabs and unmerge cells to clean things up?
    also, i definitely cannot split up tabs into individual documents as the customized spreadsheets are pulling numbers from a set of tabs that are quickbooks imports....
