Photos not clear when uploading
It seems like my photos are losing definition and clarity when I upload to this forum and others, especially contests. They are in focus out of the camera when I view on my computer. I shoot jpeg with a Nikon D3100, kit lens and use photobucket as a host. Usually the only modifications to the original I make is to crop the image. Jan 04 15 08:12 am Link do you sharpen the image after downsizing? also, web uploaders (especially Facebook) are notorious for doing bad things to images. Jan 04 15 08:33 am Link Try setting the jpeg quality to 7 before you do the image upload. If it is higher than that the site may re-compress the image outside of your control. Jan 04 15 08:53 am Link What to do is upload a high quality image to Photobucket at your usual settings, making a note of the file size. Then download the same image, and compare the size of the downloaded file. If it is smaller, the site is re-compressing it, and this could be your problem. Jan 04 15 02:23 pm Link Make sure your images conform to the Model Mayhem requirements before uploading: Model Mayhem only accepts the JPG filetype. So if you have a GIF or some other wacky image type, you will need to change it to a JPG in an image editor first. Photos must be greater than 200px in width and 300px in height, and 7kb in file size. Photos must not contain more than 16 million total square pixels (e.g., 4000px x 4000px), or exceed 1500kb in file size. Photos wider than 4000px will automatically be resized.

All the photos have met the requirements requested by MM and are well within the 1500kb file size and 4000 x 4000px dimensions.

Your images are larger. They're being resized. Nov 01 15 11:30 pm Link Thank you so much! Nov 02 15 12:25 am Link |
