I have introduced some new features to let you have more control your brwosing experience. Below you will find some details on these new enhancements.
The Speed vs Detail Toggle
You can now choose between two thumbnail formats directly from the top right of the menu on the Desktop version of the site
WebP (Default) Optimized for performance. These files are smaller and load significantly faster, making them ideal for mobile browsing or slower connections.
JPG Optimized for quality. If you have high speed internet and want to see your previews in higher resolution with better color depth, switch to this format.
How to Switch
Simply look at the top right of your screen.
If you see "JPG", clicking it will switch your gallery to high resolution JPEGs (at a slight cost to page load speed).
If you see "WebP", clicking it will switch back to the faster, compressed WebP format.
Set your preference based on your current internet speed and enjoy the best viewing experience for your photography!
Additioinal enhancements and features
Control How You Browse. You can now toggle between "Square" and "Original" formats while browsing the gallery. If you are on a mobile device, you might find the Square format provides a much cleaner, organized grid. If you want to see the full composition of every shot at a glance, simply switch to Original format. This is done by clicking the icon on the top menu, immediately to the right of the Login/Logout option.
I have refined how we interact with images across all devices. On mobile devices, tapping an image now expands it to show the full version in its original format. To return to the gallery exactly where you left off, just click the "X" to close the expanded image. If you want to dive deeper, click the image itself to visit the dedicated photo page.
When viewing a photo from its dedicated page on mobile, you can use the Next and Previous buttons to browse photos. If you are on a desktop, use the Left and Right arrows located next to the image for seamless navigation.
I have introduced two distinct ways to stay caught up on the conversation. Selecting "Comments" from the top menu shows you the most recent photos that have stayed active. Each photo is unique here, showing you only its most recent comment.
If you want to see the play by play activity, the "Raw Comment List" shows every single comment in the order it was posted. You may see the same photo appear multiple times, but each entry will show a unique, individual comment.
Presentation is everything. I have extensively researched and tested the new Dark and Light themes to ensure your photos look their absolute best, regardless of your lighting environment. You can quickly toggle between these themes using the Moon or Sun icon located in the top menu.
