[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 146673, member: 6548"] I have done lots of film printing but very little digital printing. What is the "safest" size image to post on any given online site that would still allow for nice resolution photos on a monitor yet make so that a 8 X 10 print would look like crap? That is the first thing I would like to discuss. When I started my Area 52 thread in 365 category I used photobucket. So if you look at the beginning pages of my thread the images suck (in more ways then one too LOL) but seriously the quality of them on the monitor is crappy but I assure you the prints and the original files are much cleaner and crisp. Then I changed to Flickr which helped out a whole lot. Then I started messing with sizing them and the quality sort of went all over the map even with Flickr used as the host. Now I am hosting from my own server space and using bitmap files they are better than anything previous...soon I am going RAW and using DNG and other formats to present my stuff. So what I am thinking is how do we get the best looking images for posting online without enabling someone to just right click on them download print and then sell on Ebay for example? (See related thread Ebay and Copyright Infringement) What sort of parameters and file sizes and type do we use? Rick I know you print a running ton of digital photos... ;) what do you see? Can you make a great 8 X 10 from a say 400 X 600 jpeg? [/QUOTE]
