Hello adobe users,

 

I'm creating for my first time a website which uses a photograph as the main background. This will be fullscreen. Her eyou have some examples:

http://www.flemingsteele.com/

http://www.benthomsonphoto.com/

Always better one image than 1000 of words.

 

My question is quite basic: What is the perfect image size the photograph should be for a fullscreen-image-background?

 

Is there any tips the photographer should take in place?

Any special mode?

Which format should it be? Panoramic? Rectangular?

What quality and weight should it have?

 

I'm very concerned that the raw material (the original pictures) compromise the final product. I want to create the website so it can adapt any screen resolutions. Can anybody help around?!

 

Dani
