Picture size issue

Post by Tiger 1 » Mon May 29, 2017 9:19 pm

Good evening everyone.

I have a request for help please if I may... when I upload my pictures from the SD card to my PC and then view them, the picture size is quite large and detailed but when I post them to FC and view them, they are a lot smaller in size to everyone else`s photo`s in the same thread.

For an example of what I mean... I have just posted some photo`s of the Duxford Air Show up on FC and when you look at them they are smaller than any of the others posted by our members.

Is this something to do with my settings on my camera ( Pannasonis Lumix FZ330 Bridge Camera ) or is there something I should be doing to make them the same size as all the others posted by our members?

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Hi

The dimensions look fine to me - the same size as everyone else's pictures : 1200 x nnnn?

I think the rule is not greater than 1200*1200 pix.

I change the aspect on my postings​ to wide screen (1200 * 675) but I might give up on that because they do look small but take up less space.

Edit: I am using a smartphone so maybe that is why your pictures look ok to me.

Photos look fine to me.
I'd guess that photobucket has re-sized them for you.
I normally make my photos about 1000 pix wide before I upload them using photoshop.

This might be of help to someone.
I only found it this evening and haven't had chance to try it yet.
