Quality of photos uploaded to Surfbirds galleries (1 Viewer)

Hi all,

Ref the above, I find that a perfectly good picture, when uploaded to a Surfbirds gallery, looks soft and flat.

Am I doing something wrong? I do the same as I've always done, but the odd pic I put on there looks rubbish.

Compare the picture below - the exact same file as uploaded just to SB, with the scarce birds UK gallery.

Maybe I'm just being thick?

All the best

Post script - it looks crap on here too! Looks much sharper on my laptop when I open the photo from the source file. Why is this, can anyone help?

What is the original file size?

The attachment above is only 47KB which is quite a low resolution jpeg, the site allows jpegs to be a maximum of 493KB.

If you are re-sizing the images then try to chose a higher quality setting which will discard less data, and hence detail. HTH

Yeah, way too small a resolution.

Thanks both. I thought Surfbirds only allowed pics up to 100kb, which is why I reduced it so much. It used to be 50kb!

See attached higher res version - miles better!!!
