Hmmm... I didn't think you could. Perhaps that's something to work on in
the future? I'm downloading fullscreen images from the free websites and
cutting them down to a postable size myself, but there are definitely
times when being able to see the larger image as well would be good (for
example my entry on the difference between butterflies and moths, where
quite a lot of the detail disappeared from the image when I reduced it
for better display.)

You can take the dragon out of Alfandra, but you can never take Alfandra
