Hi John,JohnZ said:I`m a bit late to this thread but I have a question if I may. I have found that uploading piccies to a gallery or another Forum often results, for me at least, in a softening of the image. Hence if anything I tend to oversharpen. I don`t think it is to the degree of halos, haloes ?, round the subject but sometimes a bit too much. Advice would be appreciated. Please bear in mind that I am a numpty with PP`ing.
I can’t think of any reason why an image would be softer when viewed after uploading and I suspect that if you open the image from your hard drive in your browser it will look the same as the online version.
I can only think that your editing software is giving you a different, perhaps ‘distorted’, view of the finished image. You don’t say which software are you using? Do you have any examples for us?
One difference that can occur is with colour space. For the Web you should use sRGB, but I think this is unlikely to affect sharpness.
