Post Your Best Nature Shots!

[canoli]

hey FG - really nice shots.


was wondering, how do you get your file sizes so small? 50K?


trying to upload a pic that's 196K and keep getting the "exceeds file size" error.


Your pix are so nice - and the .jpg quality looks awesome, but I see your file size is only 54K for that last one.


how do ya do that?

jeez, just tried a Save 4 Web at medium, got it down to 80K and I still got the error.


Is it me or is something buggy going on right now?

I have the latest version of DPP (digita photo professional). I reduce the picture size to 800x533, save in 16bit tif, sharpen it and save again in lowest quality jpeg, thats all. Make sure you have a tiff image or you will get very bad jpegartifacts from saving injpegtwice. You always have to sharpen the down-rezed version of the picture or it willlook soft.

Canoli it could be that you have too many files in general uploaded to TDP. Sometimes regardless of file size, if you have too many, you cannot upload more.

FG - Powers - thank you both.


That sounds like a good system for downsizing / sharpening for output - I do pretty much the same thing - in fact I've posted here before. I think it must be what PB wrote, that I have too many uploaded. I've got about 25 in my "bin." So I'll delete some and try again.


Shoot - okay, just tried to delete some files, and I don't see a way to do it. All I've got is an option to make a new folder or resize (or upload). Guess I'll have to explore a little deeper - maybe there's a User Control Panel or something like it...


Thanks again for your suggestions.

Go on your acount, click "view all files" and underneath all your pictures is "delete", just hit delete and your picture is gone.

thanks John - just finished. Finally getting around to posting a nature shot - though not completely natural, as there's the Point Sur Lighthouse and some outbuildings in the shot...[img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.29.05/20090827_5F00_MG_5F00_1435_5F00_PointSur_5F00_web2 .jpg[/img]
