Question about them Tee-riffic photos

Hilfe hilfe!

I finally uploaded some product photos yesterday. Can you imagine my shock when my pictures had lost a ton of quality! I uploaded them in 640x458 .jpg with highest quality, but they came out all blurry and bad. I'm sad :(

So now I seek your knowledge, dear experienced and wise people! Where did I go wrong? How can I preserve full quality when uploading them here?

It went from this:

To this:

upload at 380x272?

It doesn't matter what size the photo is but after you have submitted it we will be cropping it down to 380 x 272 pixels. Submitting hi-res photos will result in an error

From the submit photos page.

The wierd thing was that when I uploaded the 380x272 .jpg it was also all grainy and poor. So when I uploaded the bigger version i tought it was in the preview only and tought it would get better when submitted. But apparently I was wrong.

do you mean the photos you have up there now?

Gigguli on Mar 26 '08 at 10:15am

Yes

because it looks like you might just be saving them at a lower resolution than is necessary.. if you use save for web, at high, or even max. and the size of the photo is right.. 72 dpi at 380 x 272 it should be ok

/but I am a tard

I'm sure that I saved them with full quality. I uploaded them on Flickr and they didn't take any damage. Hairwolves suffered the most as an example.

it doesnt look that bad here either though. I just see jpeg fragments in your ones here, which if you saved at the appropriate size at say 80% quality, the file size should be fine, and there really shouldnt be any fragments.

part of the reason that the fragments are there is because of the solid color background.. if you were against a screen that had other colors or variations of color it would improve the jpeg quality.

The same thing used to happen when I uploaded jpg files, even though they were the right size & quality. Try using png files instead, that worked for me.

Sounds like a plan! It's just intresting that they don't have any size limitations on the photos but then they still lose some quality..
