This is primarily a comparison test to see how different edits of the

same photo appear to others on photo.net, which sometimes seems to

alter JPEGs during the upload process. Please see the alternate edit

of this same photo here:

 

"Untitled" photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=7281719

lex, could be my imagination. only difference I can find is a very slight improvement in detail (along the center vein 'hairs') over the 'Untitled" version. interesting. mmwhite.

lex, I'm new to digital processing this year and couldn't offer any tech. input, but I have noticed some color shift in images after uploading. just another in a long list of variables to study. good luck, good light, mmwhite.

Lex, I still maintain that the default view of portfolio images can be affected, when a member posts an image that is wider than the 'standard view' of 680 pixels in the horizontal dimension.

Clearly, this image above, falls within that parameter and should be unaffected.

In any event, going to the "Larger" view will always allow viewers to look at the original upload...

BTW, I like the 'apparent' extra detail in this, due to the additional sharpening.

The automatically downsized versions show some loss but not as much as I'd expected.

Yeah, you're right...

I've checked out the flower and only noticed some minor artifacts along the edge of one of the petals.

Your upload test has made me consider a rethink about the image quality after PN downsizing.

In some (many?) cases it might be a non-issue, compared to the incredible wide variety of computer screens/displays out there...

Or, to be more specific, what screen resolution are people using, is it too dark, is it too bright, contrast, dot pitch?
