Does anyone know of a good site for retoucher portfolios?

I want something that will show the images in high resolution so the work can be seen. Sites I've seen so far compress the images too much. I have a PDF portfolio but the file is too large to attach in most circumstances.

Thanks!

I'd have a look at Carbonmade & Behance, their resolutions are pretty nice.
Although, if you are serious about making it in this business, I think you're going to have to invest in your own website sooner or later.
You can PM if you need any help with it smile

Behance has great quality and is great to explore other professionals projects.

I just started to use carbonmade, and I very happy with it. I started with the free portfolio, which gives you quite a bit already, and also gives you a chance to see if you like it. If you upgrade, gives you a lot more options to customize your portfolio. Even if you have your own website which you should, having your portfolio on carbonmade, and just linking to it from your website is easy and can be made seemless, and much easier to then quickly update your portfolio often. Which I feel it's one of the most important things you need to do with your latest work. I feel the biggest mistake a person can do is to have a website that is hard to update, and have old stagnant work on your website, that has not been changed in years.
IMHO as always..smile

Thanks I will check out cabonmade. And I absolutely agree about the current work. That's actually what prompted me to leave this post. I started removing my old work and wanted updating current work.  I really like the rollover images but have had no luck in creating one no matter how many tutorials I watch. It just doesn't work.

I agree I will have to invest in my own website but for the short term just wanted better quality images than what facebook and other sites allow.

Thanks a lot for all of your opinions.

Yes I agree...smile I thought the image sizes on carbonmade were pretty small. I'll check out Behance.

What's the opinion on Flickr?

I had to upload to it for school but haven't had a chance to really check it out. Thought it might be good though.
