Very cool sky. In this case, I like the first one - the shot is really about the sky and I think a little breathing room on the horse tail works better. -- Bruce Tuesday, July 18, 2006, 7:55:21 AM, you wrote: JD Came upon this scene some time back and quickly pulled over (I usually JD just

Hello Jack, It looks a bit better in regards to sharpening. I do like the image. I routinely post my images at 800 pixels on the long edge and almost never go above 200k - I'm wondering why you are having a struggle? What level of compression are you using? The reason I ask, is because I think

Bruce, I'll just go ahead and embarrass myself (my life long challenge) by saying that I don't have any idea. I'm going to try a much larger upload. I desaturated the green, but the image still has a green look about it. I think, it's simply do to the expanse of grass. I set the image size, but

Why do you have to 'try' an upload? Are you sizing the image before uploading or is there some software you use to do it all at once? To do it best you should resize your image to the dimensions you want and then after that, sharpen to taste for that size. Then save it with the amount of
