The pictures I took look great on my camera (Canon Powershot SD600). I upload them on photobucket and nevermind the pic quality being horrible, but the lightin diminished?? Why? They look much lighter on my digicam than on photobucket.

 

I'm pretty sure Photobucket takes it upon themselves to compress any image they want. And compression means less quality. Compressing JPGs might give you lower file size... but it can quickly make a decent picture look like ___.

One of those things about a "free" service.

 

Yup I understand but this is the first time I see the light factor being diminished :?

 

Ya, I'm sure it would just depend on the specific pic you're looking at. Could be "just right" for that sort of change.

Just more reason I love having my own website with a crapload of bandwidth and storage space. I can put up anything I want.

 

What? the pictures on photobucket r much darker than what's on my camera. It sucks...took away all the sunset light away from the pics

 

Claudia... I'd suggest resizing the pics yourself using a better application (I use Photoshop) then uploading them to photobucket. It will require less (possibly no) compression then.

 

Well I think certain colors compress more or less than others... so it could just be what was in your pic was most affected by the compression.

That's sort of my understanding of jpg compression though, I could be really wrong.

 

all i have is paint :? i'll try with that

 

i use acdsee to resize and they always do a good job. send em over tonite

 

Sap could probably get you PS from some source

 

lmao yea i got PSCS2 but its not as user friendly like AcDSee or something of that nature when it coems to batch resizing.

 

Will do =)

 

Fireworks FTW.
