Re: Graphics on ET/photoblog discussion (none / 0)

Here's that excellent Montmartre photo at 600 pixels wide and 98 Kb:

I downloaded the big version from Picasa (329 Kb and 1600 px wide) into Irfanview and :

cropped it ie reframed, cutting the car and stuff on the right);
resized it to 600 px wide;
saved it with the quality cursor on 89%, which is fairly high.

How does the quality look?

There's only a bit more than 1cm difference between this photo and the one above. Is that significant?

Re: Graphics on ET/photoblog discussion (none / 0)

I don't think so.

However, if it's Picasa that automatically resizes, it seems to force you into lower quality. (22 Kb in one case, 56 Kb in the other). That's a pity for people like PeWi whose firewall won't let them click to see the better version.

This one is 640px by 83kb.
Tis is the normal resize. The other was minimal.

Yes, it does look better. If you can get that out of Picasa with no sweat, then it looks like a good solution!
