Question for Chris Sanderson
« on: September 21, 2017, 03:08:05 pm »

Hello Chris.
Need a little of your good help submitting for the 'Southern Exposure' Grant.
From a 200 MB tif file in Bridge chose Tools, PS, Image Processor. Then chose JPG and 800 pixels max. each side. Also chose sRGB, Quality 12, and ICC profile.
Imported back into PS the image looks extremely "fuzzy" and dull and sharpening doesn't correct it.
Please tell me where to find instructions for this kind of conversion or where I screwed up so I can comply with the submission guidelines.
Thank you very much.

Rather than hoping that he will stumble on to this it is probably best to send him a Personal Message.

Hi Richard. It certainly sounds as if you are doing all the right things.
Perhaps you are viewing the resulting image larger than its native size?

Chris,
Thank you for your reply.
As you suggested, for a fair rendition it's necessary to view the image at it's native size.
And that leads me to a question and concern. How can a foto entered into a contest with a maximum pixel size of 800 on a side be accurately seen at such a small version? Doesn't it lose a substantial degree of resolution?  Also, when the original image is changed to a smaller color space a lot of good color is lost.
I know it's necessary for practical reasons to limit size. I'm wondering if in the future the minimum size could be a little larger?

Agreed - it's small. We are working on replacing the whole Endowment website and larger images will be on our priority list.

The limitation was originally created simply to restrain bandwidth costs.
