Tack sharp...
Baring those images that are intentionally soft or blurred, does anyone find that many images, seen in ports, are not tack sharp? Are folks resizing for MM and not following their resize with some sharpening? Just an observation. Regards. Jul 19 06 10:08 pm Link I've noticed this too.. perhaps it was intentional, laziness, negligence, image compression, or a combination of any/all of those factors. Sometimes I have to oversharpen my images before uploading to compensate for the compression which tends to make images softer.

I left it as a fuzzy gray area between laziness (I knew I was supposed to sharpen, but didn't feel like it) and negligence (huh? what'd I miss?) Jul 20 06 01:00 am Link MM does compress images significantly, though I can't blame them considering how much file space all the images must take up. Compare this (69.7KB) -  To this (164KB) -  All the fine detail goes to mush, skin is blotching, tones are coming apart, etc. It'd be nice if MM allowed linking to external images as an option to uploading.

Jul 20 06 02:42 am Link It's free so I've got no qualms whatsoever...it just kinda sucks anyhow... Jul 20 06 02:48 am Link I noticed some degradation of my pictures - bur hey it's an free site, with all the space needed... Even on payable sites there are some rules - small sizes, full compression... Jul 20 06 02:50 am Link maybe you should all just learn how to save for web and compensate accordingly Jul 20 06 02:59 am Link Jhett Thompson wrote: Maybe you should stop being such a cock and balls...hehe!

I've also found that if i upload the same file multiple times it comes out looking different each time... Jul 20 06 03:05 am Link there i go being a dick when its not my place p.s. my images are soft as a babies behind Jul 20 06 03:09 am Link Brian Diaz wrote: I personaly like some photos blurry...
