laurent-paul Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Did you manipulate your photo in any way between looking at it on your screen and uploading it ? Do you also have the same problem with all 4 photos in your folder ? How does it look when you download your photo from PN and look at it in your screen ?

bueh Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 That's the famous photo.net JPEG compression at work. It mostly affects reds. Complaints had been filed and ignored. You can avoid it by posting the photo with a width not exceeding 675 pixel or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lex_jenkins Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 "Complaints had been filed and ignored." That's a bit unfair. Photo.net admin have a long list of things to do, including site improvements and routine maintenance. Recently, just keeping the site running smoothly has been a chore. Prioritizing a list isn't the same thing as ignoring one's personal preferences. Occasionally they're able to break out of triage mode long enough to make improvements that other folks have been asking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Laur Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 You uploaded an image that's 1500 pixels wide. You're leaving it up to a software robot to create a more browser/bandwidth-friendly version of it to show people unless they click on the "LARGER" link when viewing your image. Most people would still find 1500 pixels too large to view with lots of scrolling around, anway. So, upload a more modestly sized version, and be sure to appropriately sharpen the JPG for the size you ultimately render. I usually put up images in the 800-or-so pixel neighborhood. When photo.net renders the smaller thumbnails and mid-sized flavors of them, there isn't too much butchery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bueh Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Lex, this issue is many years old -- I reckon it was first discussed even before the W/NW forum was opened. Back then we were promised that that the powers that be would take a good look at the compression algorithm and change its settings it won't compress this noticeably. Unfortunately, things haven't changed on "bit" and posting a reddish image in the W/NW forum or as an oversized image in the personal gallery is a sure-fire way to ruin a great picture.
