Realizing different forum software will downconvert/shrink images depending on the backend settings, I typically use larger, high res images for reviews, but I have seen other forums wherein the images are much smaller, and some are so small, they cannot even be clicked and zoomed. Via mobile viewing, obviously higher res images will probably not be required, but I was wondering where all of you stood on the subject.
If you click on the first image, expands it to much larger, and you then have right and left arrows, to scroll through ALL of the images in the post. Then you can see the differences.
IDK, still looks the same to me
But itās hard to concentrate, my wife keeps grabbing the iPad and wants to go back and look at @woftam ās foot long mod in the Handcheck thread.
Wonder if heās using small or large imaging
I think those are both a good size for the forum as viewed on a phone. I voted for the larger. It wasnāt too large. I donāt like it when they are poster sized and I have to wait for my device to paint the screen. I also donāt like it when the pictures are the exact size. I try to make it bigger to see better and nothing happens when I try. I have DSL internet that varies in speed between 3.5 to 7 mB/s which is pretty slow by todayās standard.
Your pictures are so good they donāt need to be huge. Very clear and they show the details.
Gotta agree with Sparky here. Some forums it wonāt matter as they shrink it for you. Some places like reddit, if your hosting off of Imgur or another photo hosting site those with bad internet connections will load really slow with large files.
@SessionDrummer I didnāt see much difference except the large took a few seconds to load and the small was nearly instant. I only use my galaxy s8 on here, very rarely my laptop
Thank you @Plunderdrum. Maybe I should run a more, ummm, accurate poll about WHAT people use to view ELR. I use my laptops for work, all day, and night, so for me, itās easier. Iāll use the phones in a pinch, but itās more native to me for laptoping.
I appreciate the extra clarity of the more pixel dense shots. I shoot only in uncompressed raw and only reduce pixel density if included in a video that mandates it or uploading to a site with a limit in size. Iāve taken to shooting video in 4K even if I render at 1080 just to have the cropping flexibility in post.
I am using an iPad and the larger picture loaded as fast as the smaller one and the clarity was practically the same too so Iām voting for larger also my eyesight isnāt what it used to be so every little helps.
