Help needed..

I am always losing around 20% quality of my pics, I've tried to send them in different sizes and formats, even changed the original from jpeg,gif or raw..

Is that a problem of uploading, Internet connection or server?

Anyone knows???:smt100

 

where are you uploading them to? are you uploading from your phone or your computer?

 

For example photobucket, imageshack or to websites that sell pictures or prints.. I was searching for a special software, but haven't found anything, even in forums for professional photography, so I was thinking it has something to do with internet connection. I upload from my pc.

My pics are losing contrast, brillance and look like there would be a grey glass on them...




That pic i.e. has under the feather minimum 20 different blue nuances, now it's all mixed, no difference to see anymore and it's shining in original..I don^t know anymore, what's the problem:smt087

 

It wouldn't have anything to do with your internet connection, it would be the image processing script the site you're using has and the quality they have set when they process images.

have you tried uploading the same exact file to say dreamstime, istockphoto, stock.xchng or deviantart?

my best guess is that sites like photobucket or imageshack downgrades image quality for storage reasons whereas sites like the ones i listed above are all about the quality of the image.

 

Thank you. I will try it!:smt023

 

np, let me know your findings, im curious to see what happens. if you'd like, email me the original picture and ill pop it on my server to see if a raw file upload keeps the image quality.

 

I appreciate that. My Camera is with a specialist to check the software and to update it, now. On Sunday I make new pics. I will make them in raw, can I send them by email or do I have to change them in jpeg?
I observed that Mozilla changes them automatically in png..

 

yes you can send via email, just send me the version you would upload. the test case is what happens on the various image hosting sites when the exact same image is uploaded. that way we can see which shows the best quality.

 

ok, I'll do that..Thank you:smt058

 

Beautiful artwork Christine.

 

many sites that will allow you to use their storage for free are going to drop the quality on your raw images because they are allowing you to use their storage for free.

if they let everyone store raw 25meg images on their servers then they would be out of bandwidth quickly.

Flickr works awesome. The free accounts are good, but if you are trying to keep your content accessible at a fairly low cost but in their native resolution/depth then you will need to pay for a pro account. It is not expensive and the user interface is as accessible as you allow it to be. I use my flickr as a folio which I can present to prospective clients in a pinch since my website is still slowly coming around.

just an idea!

 

Thank you Souly! Miss you in the artwork Photography thread

I learn something everyday. I will ask my friends who are professional photogs on my work. It is not as good like Christine's but,I just learning.
