Hi all,
some days ago, I received the following message from Photobucket:
Dear Holger Bergmann,
We apologize for the confusion. To clarify:
Upload resolution settings (not filesize) are what control the compression that runs for all web-display/linkable images on our site, so this means -
1. The best way to preserve a web-display/linkable image from being too compressed is to make sure that the upload resolution setting (not filesize) is set to be as close to the original before upload as possible.
2. For example, if your original image is 860 x 1280 before upload, then the appropriate or closest-to-the-original upload setting for a free account user would be: 1024 x 768. *Pro user's have high resolution setting options as well as always having the original image stored (download->high res option)
Thank you
Sincerely,
Your Photobucket Support Team
You remember, I reported about the Chino Airshow 2010, cared a lot about picture quality and was very disappointed when I found out the pictures uploaded to my Photobucket account did not keep the quality (all are bad by now). If you read carefully what Photobucket says above, they indeed refrain from offering an 1 MB picture size, what they do on the account, also in case of a free membership. I feel fooled.
You might be satisfied with the picture quality, but I am not. Let me repeat that it really was a lot of labour to get so many pictures the way I wanted them to be. Hope you understand my disappointment.:(:mad::(
Regards, RT
