Hi everyone sorry I have decided to start a new thread as the other was kind of getting out of hand. would someone be able to help me out as I have a lot of compression issues and I know I keep getting told to change the size but I need help with it.




Cheers Hadleigh

I don't understand what I am supposed to do with resizing my photos because thanks a lot a head screener with whos name I won't mention he tells me to upload at 1092PX max or even smaller which I have been doing and then gets rejected for compression and the photo size is at 1041PX Seriously, what am I doing wrong for to happen?

Here's a link to what I mean.
https://imgproc.airliners.net/photos/ai ... 2a4055486a

What photo editing software are you using and what's your process for resizing?

I have light room but I am to waiting to be shown how to use it and in the mean town I'm just using windows photos until I get shown how to use light lightroom as for resizing I click on resize then I click on something like enter custom dimensions and I put in 1092px or smaller at that is maximum size to even have a chance to get a photo accepted.

I starting to think who ever is screening my photos is doing it for something to do it's making me mad!!!!!!

And also a head screener called me an arrogant teenager!!!

Hello Hadleigh.

Sounds as though things have been getting you down of late - rejections have habit of doing that. Hope you are feeling a little better about it all now.

To try to answer your question - in simple terms compression is the result of a digital image being reduced in size from its original dimensions (even creating a large jpeg from a RAW image of the same size results in some compression). The program that does the downsizing has to use a way of creating the image with a smaller number of pixels - so it is effectively throwing out some digital information. By definition, the quality of the result is going to deteriorate - especially when you take a closer look on a larger monitor. This particularly affects things like sharpness, contrast etc. Some methods (and programs) are better than others for resizing the original photo. It may well be that if you are not using a professional program such as Photoshop/Lightroom it simply doesn't do the greatest of jobs and so that downsizing is leaving tell tale signs of the reduction in quality. If you are starting with a jpeg image (not RAW) and you reduce the number of pixels that make up the image (to make it smaller to submit) you are going to get some compression - your job is to limit that as much as you can. A combination of the program you use and some editing skills are what is needed to minimise that.

Hope this helps a little.

Hi paul, Sorry for the really late reply, so your basically saying I need to shoot in raw?

Always shoot RAW, 100% of the time.
It may take up more space but it makes up for it in image quality.

That and implementing what I told you before should see a spike in the quality of your images.

Oh thanks Tim that's a massive help because all this time I have been shooting in jpeg.

Hello I recently started shooting raw and I've ran in to the following issues such as looking compressed after resizing it and very grainy and noise even after giving 100% of noise reduction would someone pls be able to help me out as to what I am doing wrong thanks.


Hadleigh

Not to mention I even get compressed images after resizing and that are taken in RAW, so how can I fix that ?

I have multiple photos taken in RAW and I would like some Help Please?

Are you editing in Lightroom?

Crosswindphoto wrote:

Yes I am

Make sure when you're export that you're exporting at the correct settings.
Ie: Maximum quality settings, correct width and height in pixels, etc.
If all that is correct then I'll have a look.

Would export settings be kpeg that you use?
And the pixels is 1020px

Any good?

Sorry jpeg

LOL, do yourself a favor take a deep breath and listen to the advice here. It's priceless. The one photo you referenced above has other issues like quality and dark so compression is the least of your problems. One thing you should incorporate is not to shoot when it's cloudy. Start with great light and go from there.

Many Thanks!

In the last saving step, select the maximum quality saving, and be sure to select 100%, otherwise it may lead to the current problem of your photos.

Cloudy conditions aren’t a problem, provided you know what you are doing.

The nice plane you want to photograph might not always be there for your sunny side on photo. By trying to take photos in different conditions you learn more.

Wiggy: in your last post the image links are all dead for me so I cannot help much.

Always export at 100%, this will help a little bit against compression.

How are my photos still compressed even at 1020px?

It’s probably due to the uploading system running a fixed scripted process. So it runs compression regardless.

Some of the big CMS platforms do things differently and create variable renditions of the asset based which are used for different platforms.

Oh that explains it then!

Slide shooters would disagree but I am well aware of how to shoot with adverse light. I just think for someone getting their feet wet here and for common aircraft you should stick with superior light.

hello all, what would be the best platform to use to fix Compression?

And could I get your opinion on this photo?
