found this spectacular view in my backyard when i got home from nightshift this morning
also i found when i compressed it to fit the portofolio there was huge loss of contrast sharpness and detail in general
all my preferences in ps for resizing are set to standard
can anybody help me out if i should make some adjustment to achieve better results regarding resizing and having less loss of detail???
or is this a natural cause of resizing
(most of my shots are either 3 or 6 mp/ adobe ps 6)
btw anymore spectacular clouds out there??

I use Paint Shop Pro 9, but I ran into the same problem you mention and I think the two app's are similar.
There are several options in PSP when resizing to choose from and I had to play around to see how they looked. Bicubic, Bilinear, Smartsize are just a few I can remember without the app in front of me. Try it a couple of different ways and see what you get.
I also believe there is a tutorial regarding this subject and a couple of threads. Good luck. :-)

Bicubic is typically considered the cleanest (and slowest) algorithm for rescaling an image. In general, if you go from a 4-6 megapixel image down to a 640 pixel image you are throwing away a lot of information. There's no way to do it without some negative effect when compared to an original.
You might also want to check some 100% crops between the two to see if the range is an optical illusion caused by a smaller field of vision. Photos are all optical illusions, so you need to take that into account as well.

| Interesting skies can really benefit from some basic photoshop enhancements, and shouldn't lose that much of their pop when resized for web. Can you post the full res image in your portfolio and let a few of us take a crack at it?? |

I musthave misread, or been lead by your thread title. Yes, go ahead and post and lets see what we can do. I won't get a chance to look at it until I get home from work. (It's a good thing my work PC doesn't have PS installed or I'd never get anything done).

Here's a very quick pass in Photoshop CS, using curves to colorbalance the whole pic and then a quick default Shadows/Highlights pass to brighten the foreground buildings. I think I could do a whole lot better with the original hi-res image but this ain't a bad start:
