[QUOTE=Richmond Fotog; 1729127]What's the point with all the testing? Forum software reduces size and DPI. If your edit is good and saved for the web all you have to do is use an alternate posting source and post the direct link. Many free sites do this and you simply provide the direct link to the image.

I am trying to find the best combination for posting photos on the USASG site directly. This started a few months when I thought that the quality of my photos had deteriorated. In checking with my earlier posts, it seemed to be true. As far as I know, there has been no change made by USASG. The problem must be on my end. Many of my current posts look "lossy" and I am trying to minimize that. Cookyjar and I have discussed it. Still don't quite know what is going on. It seems to me that the forum software does not reduce size if the largest dimension is 600 pixils or less, but does reduce the image if the largest dimension is greater than 600 pixils. But my tests seem to show that the reduced dimension photos are better than when they are not reduced. Doesn't make sense, but that seems to be the case. Your thoughts. This seems to be as good a place as any to do my testing. I don't want to do it on my usual Memphis-Escort Review site. Maybe I should post in the photo techniques section. I think there may be an actual "test" forum, but I have not found it.
