Thread: A question for the lucky X100 owners :)

If youse sign out, then clear your cache, it should be ok.

It has been my understanding that the 1024 width should be just fine.

Ok, checked the images on "High ISO images"

I am using Safari 5.0.5 and Firefox 3.5.1 therefore obviously a Mac person. I checked on my both my desktop and laptop. I uses a number of sizes from 1920x1080 All the way down to and including 1024x768 and I found no elongation. The only think I find is there is a difference in how each browser handles gamma. Firefox is always more contrasty and darker than Safari.

For what it is worth I also checked on my iPad and no aspect ratio shift.

Final conclusion is i don't know what to say or how to help you.

There is nothing "wrong"with 1024 width there is just some odd conflict somewhere for some of us.
Just to confuse you further [sorry!], if I reply to your message in the High ISO thread with quote and go to "advanced" then not only your images in the preview are correctly displayed but so are all the others correctly displayed as I scroll down the thread in the preview window.

The plot thickens!

Actually I am sure that all these details will be helpful to Amin. I appreciate everyone's input very much.

This is what I see. It's one of my own images posted from flickr @ 1024 pixels wide, but when I take it as a screen shot it I measure it at 800 pixels wide but it remains 683 pixels high (original image ratio is 3:2 = 1024:683)

Just checked some other images as well. The problem only seems to occur with wider images. For example, a 640:426 image (same 3:2 aspect ratio) displays with no problems.

I'm stumped. Can anyone post a screenshot of the issue showing in one browser side by side with another browser displaying things properly?

I've seen elongated pics on one of my office computers, but it's running a very old version of IE.

For now, I'm going with the theory that it's an X100 bug .

Well, it must be an X100 thing for people that don't have the X100.

I can't help you, since everything looks normal to me in Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

Now I think of it, a little while ago on the same work computer with internet explorer, the serious compacts site always displayed wider than the program window, so that I had to scroll across to see the list of recent threads. I can't be entirely sure but I don't think that I was having the same issue with wider images being squeezed horizontally back then. At some point maybe in the last few months the site started displaying at the same width of the program window, which I think is when I started getting the issues with the display of wider images.

I can't do a side-by-side screenshot since we use internet explorer, internet explorer, and internet explorer as alternative browsers here.
