I'm not an expert but I think that a useful image for full size printing (let say, a poster size around 120 x 75 cm) should be much larger than Paintmap 5 Mb maximum.

Of course, if you do not want people to see your technical details,to learn about your stroking effects and so on, a small size image is definitively the solution. I still think however that painting lovers will acknowledge the possibility of looking at details and learn from each other. In any case, final image size is a personal decision within the technical limits defined by Paintmap.

Hi!.

Protecting images online is a difficult, almost impossible, mission to accomplish. At the end, the image is there and a "print screenshot" command can grab it and no way to stop this.

If you're really worried about it, we recommend to upload the files in a "medium resolution", say 800-1000 pixels on the long side at 72 dpi. This way you can have a little zoom.

I notice the heading "Artist's Journey" on the profile pages. The ones I've seen have no content. What is this section for, and how do you fill it out?

Hi Paintmap.
One reason I upload small files is to protect my work from being stolen and used by others. If we upload large files, how can we assure that others cannot access the quality versions?
