personally I choose the 600X? fullview option when submitting - being a traditional artist I often don't need the large version, so I'm glad when I don't have to download the whole thing. and as a stocker I'd say why only provide two option when there are three possible?
at first I wasn't sure myself cause many people left comments like "such a beautiful stock pic but it's too small for my work" and I always had to explain the download-thing. but I guess meanwhile people should have get used to the fact that the full size pic is now downloadable.
the only thing I don't like is the fact that the size in the description is not the original size but the fullview size - I think that's a bit misleading, but in the end that's not in my power to change

just because a post without signature looks really empty...

I don't post mine at full size because I know what that's like on slower computers. I make sure it's large enough to see detail and so people can see if they can use it, normally 900 or 1024 px fullview.

Communism never looked so cute.

I used to post the full resolution, but now limit the view. My files are often large and it probably take a while for people with slower connects to see them.

The only downside is that the actual size of the image is not displayed.

I think it's really up to you. I always put them at full size so people can just click and save rather than have to go through the while downloading routine.

I put them at 600px preview and the full size on download, so that people don't have to load everything just to see a bit closer. But that's up to you.

For the full view I keep it one below the full size for the click and save convenience like Hanratty. But also have the full size Download option for The Huger file.

I go for download, and make the preview big enough to fit on screen. I happen to have low speed myself, so I very much hate when the full view just loads for ever and crashed my poor computer.

I think by now people are used to the download option, so it shouldn't be a problem.

But well, to each their own.

An old man by a seashore at the end of day
Gazes the horizon with seawinds in his face
Tempest-tossed island, seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted and a ship without a name

I keep the full view size small, and let people download the huge file.
My internet has an annoying tendancy to run slow sometimes, and I don't like having to full view an image that's huge, especially when I don't even know if I'm going to use or not.

I post mine as 600 or so px, and offer a larger download.

Like syccas, i do traditional art and often don't need huge images for reference. And also i hate browsing through stock art and having huge images. Not only do they take a little longer to load (my connection is great, but my computer hates me) but i like to be able to see a good portion of the image at one time, but not so small as the smaller images are when you click them smaller. I often find myself having to right click on the deviation and click view image, so that i can see the image as the size of my screen. But that can get time-consuming.

One thing though is i always say in my description (if people take the time to read them. lol) that the full dowloadable image size is such and such by such and such px.
