Uploading Files What is the secret to uploading photos and keeping the sharpness & bright colors? I size all of my uploads with 480 on the short side, resharpen after resizing, shoot in RAW, etc. But the sharp shot with brilliant colors that appears on my monitor looks dull and lifeless after uploading. I have tried over saturating and that helps some but I know I'm missing a step somewhere. Any advice?

Hello Susan, I still struggle with this, but seem to have achieved slightly better results lately after emailing the nice folks at BP. The short side is meaningless to me..I shoot for 750 on the long dimension. Finally, anyone shooting over 2MP will never get a great reproduction on BP as they obviously take my 3.5MP image and reduce it to like 300K! I've posted some of my photos to "other" sites with no degradation in quality..so that pretty much proves to me it's not my image, it's BP. Pete

"...you obviously have to resize..." What's obvious is not always true! I save my images in .tif and upload the full size image. The uploads take seconds only (over broadband) and the images look on the site the way they look on my screen at home. Whatever BP does to process my files (which are typically 24 megabytes and up to 120 for panoramas) happens during upload, not in my system, so I don't need to keep a drive full of extra, downsized versions of my pictures.

good thing I checked on this thread. after reading I experimented a little with one of my photos: adaboat. now there are several versions of it online with short discriptions of what I did.hopefully this helps others optimize the appearance of theirs.

I seem to be having the same problem and it's quite frustrating. I'm going to look for your photos...
