About the photo:

The parish church of St Mary at East Bergholt, Suffolk, is a fascinating building. The most famous feature is a detached wooden bellcage in the churchyard which houses the church bells. The story goes that Cardinal Wolsey was financing the rebuilding of the tower in 1530 when his downfall from power led to the work being suspended. The tower was never completed and the bells needed a new home, so this unique structure was built. A short walk down the hill brings you to the National Trust property of Flatford Mill, made famous in paintings by John Constable, who lived in East Bergholt as a child.

Monitor resolution, or 'how can I tell what size image I need to use to fit my monitor?'

While we can't give instructions for every operating system, here's how to determine your monitor resolution in Windows XP and Mac OSX.

Windows XP - right click anywhere on your desktop. A menu will pop up. Choose 'Properties' from the menu. A window with several tabs will pop up. Click on the 'Settings' tab. Look at the numbers under the Screen Resolution slider. That's your current setting.

Mac OSX - click on System Preferences, then Displays, then the Display Tab (should be showing by default). Your current resolution will be highlighted.

Images are set to a gamma of 2.2, which is pretty much industry standard for image display and printing. The only trouble is that Mac monitors generally have a gamma set to 1.8 by default, which means that images MAY appear slightly washed out, or show colours not quite as intended. You can reset your monitor's gamma easily on a Mac. Do a simple search for 'reset gamma Mac' on Google. And in case anyone thinks we're putting Mac users second, let me reassure you that we use both Macs and Windows machines at Britain Express!
