The originals are pin sharp, but those i uploaded have gone soft. What am i doing wrong? |
Gemm Ferrane Posts: 36 Joined: 12th Dec 2006 Location: UK | quotePosted at 10:03 on 3rd February 2011 Due to the loss of quality when you use JPEG compression, the images can look softer. Resizing (e.g. to 800px) can make it look soft too, so always apply some sharpening after resizing. Hope this helps. |

Hi Dennis Try using "save as for web and devices" in CS5, make sure you use S/RGB colour space and use bicubic sharper when resizing down. That should do the trick. cheers Stuart |
Posts: Joined: 1st Jan 1970 | There is a very simple answer to this. I have photos on a few web sites and the display quality varies a lot. POE does not seem to give the sharpness of other sites and clearly gives less contrast. I know nothing about servers so no idea if its due to bandwidth or what. Perhaps the "management" may explain it all. Mr B ? |

Then Filter>Sharpen>Sharpen. Then repeat Filter>Sharpen>Sharpen. If 2nd round of Sharpening has been a bit too much already, go to Edit>Fade Sharpen and reduce the Opacity to something more suitable. Back to Image>Image Size to re-size to say 900/800 pixels (or whatever) for the web. If it might need a touch more, then Filter> Smart Sharpen and More Accurate box ticked and Pixels set to .2 or .3 and Amount to around 50%---or whatever less to avoid over-sharpening/halos appearing. You should have a sharp looking web image by now. Edited by: Paul Hilton at:4th July 2011 07:57 |

Bit concerned that we may have a virus of some sort, can you see them from your end, that's all I really want to know, because if not, i'll try it again- or run another virus scan Sorry it's such a lengthy question, but a bit worried incase we have a big problem. Thankyou |
