Photo Display Upgrade

Photo Display Upgrade – Phase 1


We doubled the file size of the photos being delivered to all your IDX web sites and the numerous web sites where our listings appear. It will be up to them to incorporate them into the site. This will give your images more resolution and snap when viewed by the public. This process will affect listing images you upload from today forward.

On the MHMLS site you now have the option to click on the image to see the higher resolution image in the size it is being sent to the IDX and public sites.

This is Phase 1 of 2. In Phase 2 we are working on putting on line a native server, hopefully by year’s end, to provide even higher resolution images. I will let you know when that occurs. There is a balance when putting extreme high resolution images on the web. One important consideration is the time necessary to download the images. Today’s digital cameras are delivering images in the 10, 12, 18 and higher megapixel file size. If a listing were to have 15, 12 megapixel photos and you did a search returning 30 listings the time to download the images would be significant.

We hope you find the upgrade helpful.
