Embedding images - lower resolution - Pattaya-Revealed.com

gonzo · 06-08-2014, 12:38 PM

I've noticed on the last couple of photo threads I've posted the images when embedded into the board are at a much lower resolution than when viewed direct on Flickr. Anyone else noticed this?

I even signed up for a trial account with Smugmug as I know Bazza uses them but I got the same result - viewing the pic direct on Smugmug it's pretty much identical to how it looks viewing it direct off my hard drive but when I use the BB code and embed the picture onto the board the quality is dramatically reduced.

Anyone got any idea how I can get it sorted so pics look as they should when posted here?

Testing some pics

From my Smugmug (paid) account

1600 x 1074

This one from my free Flickr account

1140 x 1600

Both the pics above are the original size that I uploaded to Smugmug & Flickr

Longest edge is 1600 as that is the maximum size that I can save them from Picasa, my photo editing software. Picasa is the Photoshop for dumb old fuckers like me

When linking them to here I chose "Original" just as a test. Normally I use 1200.

I noticed that your pics were 800 x 600 in your Penarth thread

Can I suggest that you select a larger size and see what happens?

Cheers Bazza, will give it a go but I upload all mine at full size so would need to resize before uploading I think as full size out of Aperture is massive.

I use Irfanview mainly because of it's batch resizing and renaming abilities. Can resize 50 photos in a minute. It is also very fast to crop photos. Never mess with the color properties or anything else so is perfect for me.

Or not.

Back to the original post - finally tried what you suggested Bazza and put a reduced size and full size image up for comparison. Full sized image looked fine.....but at over 8 times the size of the 'full sized' ones you posted it made the rest of the thread disappear to a narrow band down the lefthand side of the screen. Did come out in the proper resolution though and looked the same as the original on my laptop does.

Guess I need to start reducing the size before uploading rather than relying on Flickr's resizing to do the job if I want to keep the resolution the same
