Photography F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 26 6:56 am)
Subject: Microsoft-live website question
It seems that viper was curious as to why,
when uploading photos they suffer a major quality loss
It seems that the site treats the images as a slideshow -- that isn't very
convenient for critical viewing.
In addition, the images initially displayed are downsized from what you
uploaded -- i.e. click 'view image' as they are being displayed.
The bottom line is that you may want to hand code your own web site
rather than use MS-live.

It seems that viper was curious as to why,
when uploading photos they suffer a major quality loss
... and so, I took a second look.
The first image in the gallery (garden tub_001) has the dimensions
462 x 640 -- that's about 300k pixels ... and as an uncompressed image
would be a file of about 887k bytes. However, the image in the gallery is
actually a compressed JPG with file size of 25k (25,242, to be exact). That
image has been compressed to only 2.8% of the original file size.
The question would then be how (when) did that happen?
We need to know ...
(1) what was the image file size as recorded by the camera?
i.e. the original file size of the image?
(2) what was the image file size after being edited (Photoshop or whatever)?
(3) Are there any other processing steps?
(4) did MS live do some "innocent" editing of the images before
or as part of the upload process? e.g., does it create a local copy
of what it is going to upload -- what are those image file sizes?
That detailed inspection of the work process would shed some light
on your mystery.

p.s. "shed some light" -- geeeee, it's like taking a picture. LOL

I decided to create my website using microsofts-live basic website, seantobinphotography.com, its pretty easy to use and set up. My problem is when uploading photos they suffer a major quality loss, I am given 500megs for free and would like the option to upload full quality pics, does anyone else here use them and know how to get around the problem.
