Advise on photos!

22 Dec 2008

Hi, I've uploaded some new photos which are waiting to be approved, on my computer they are nice clear pictures but having uploaded them onto here, they seem to have lost quite a lot of the quality. Is this a common problem or is there something I can do to make a difference? Any advise would be appreciated....thanks folks and merry xmas!! lol

Meaty is probably the photo person to ask. I've not a clue! redface

Mine have pretty much stayed the same as they were but then I resized them before I posted them so it might have something to do with that whole pixel thing that I just don't understand! lol

Hope you get it sorted!
Merry Christmas to you too! :mrgreen:

Try saving them in a lower resolution (say max 50Kb per image). Higher resolutions often result in digitis.

Thanks guys although still at a bit of a loss, not sure about sizes and resolutions etc!! Bit too technical for little old me!! I'll have a look though and see if i can figure out how to resize them xxx redface

The answer could be down to the size.
Another is a site like this requires pictures to be posted via a hosting site such as photobucket, and to be able to provide the link with which you can post onto a forum, they have to use various methods of compression, which will result in a loss of quality.

The one I just authorised look a bit grainy - was it a cam pic???? Find some are like that if it was...

22 Dec 2008

The two public ones on your profile look ok (well, they look better than ok :rascal: but i mean ok in technical terms ) a bit grainy so i'm guessing you're using a webcam or a mobile phone. If this is the case try using more light to get rid of the grainyness.
If the ones in your private gallery are blocky, make sure you'v uploaded the picture and not the thumbnail or used the wrong link in Imageshack.
Feel free to send me a PM if you're still having trouble

Hiya lovely helpful forum type people!!! Yes the pics are off my mobile so i'm guessing that's the reason they're a little grainy, it's just they don't look grainy at all on my pc so I was thinking there was maybe a reason they'd lost some of the quality when i uploaded them. As outdoor said though, they don't look so bad when i click on them to view the full sized photo so i'm happy with them for now at least.....and hoping santa very kindly will leave a digital camera in my stocking this year rolleyes

Thank you all for you're helpful advice xxx

Hehe I've just had some approved and the thumbnails make me look like I'm built like brick shit house (that's funny to those that know me).
I'm all shy at the mo' - never really screwed up the courage to make 'em public.
Beth - yours look lovely silly

hwoar: If you want any higher resolution ones done.... innocent
