Some “Photomatix” from the youth of today :D

From a recent brief trip to NJ. I took a quick lunch break across the river and brought my camera.

My favorite cheese steak restaurant on South Street, Philadelphia - Jim's Steaks.

Re: Fun with the Sony A7 Series Cameras( all of them)

For those of you (Barry, Werner...) hosting your wonderful higher resolution images on Flickr, how are you linking them here? When I do that via , I get a small square with a question mark. If I do it through [URL], I get a link with the same "Open image in new tab" message, but no picture in the post - just the URL. How do you get the image to appear in your post?

And Michiel, how do you get such beautiful clean images to appear here? When I link or post 1200px wide images (either uploading directly or linking to Zenfolio), they appear very blurry. Do you upload at higher resolution and let the website scale?

Thank you all!

Matt

Hi Matt,

When you open the image you want to post in flickr, use the third icon (the curved arrow), choose the desired size - I always use the biggest size and let getdpi scale it down - copy it and paste it in the forum. Actually you only need the part between
the rest is not relevant. That is the way I do it. You also need to downsize them for the web.
I use a script from Andreas Resch called We sharpener.

I save my images on flickr 1500 pixels wide. A size most monitors can handle these days. BTW I always center my images.

You hid pretty well there. Lol

Of course you only had one direction to go unless you had a parachute

Hi Matt, apologies for not getting back sooner (I have been out most of the day).
I see that you have figured uploading from Flickr for yourself, excellent!
Everybody does it slightly different from one another. I now personally make my Flickr images to 2400px maximum wide/high and then make a link to that called “LARGER” for members who wish to see how my image was originally intended to be finally seen, like the one below.
I then send the smaller 1600px image which is automatically generated by Flickr to GetDPI, this in turn is automatically downsized yet again to 1200px maximum wide/high with the GetDPI downsizing algorithm.
This way only a tiny amount of IQ is lost in translation when the image displays here on GetDPI but in order to see it at it’s best you really need to click on the “LARGER” link.
To get a clean image I find that the Andreas Resch Web Sharpener script works the best that I have seen to date...But it only works with CS4 and above because it works in Labcolor mode and not RGB.
Here is the link if you are interested.... http://andreasresch.at/2013/04/07/web-sharpener-better-sharpening-for-the-web/
I hope this helps....Cheers Barry
