[QUOTE="Stoshowicz, post: 481375, member: 31397"] About the limiting to 1000 pix horizontal , I was looking at some results for my pix closely, it looks like it does actually help, but trying to figure out exactly what gives the best result , still defies me. I take a 24 megapixel image , and then compress to jpeg it still may be four megabytes , If I dont cut it to 1000 along the top edge it may compress further to about 30 ! Kilobytes , if I cropped it It should end up around 300 kilobytes. Basically theres a penalty for high resolution, a penalty for subtle sharpening which doesn't survive the compression , and penalty for not resizing small enough. The smart plan should be to prepare a seperate image to post up from the raw file , do no sharpening or smoothing until youve cut the size down to what will get shown, then do your sharpening and if all that compression still requires noise reduction do it then. ( but yours look good to me so I guess you dont need the prompt,, but it seems odd that [U]landscape shots[/U] get scrunched down to a four or six inch presentation. One tern I posted started out as three megabyte jpeg and got crushed down to 16 kilobytes! at a 100% crop the tern wouldn't even fit on the screen but ends up looking like an upsized thumbnail :) [/QUOTE]
