I have noticed this in the past and thought it was just me (maybe it is) but these images Declan's dpc images I uploaded of my Grandson's birthday party look soft and generally poor compared to the photos uploaded to my own website > here Declan's Birthday shots
The photos on my website have been resized to 800 whilst most of the ones here on DPC are at 1200. Would that make such a difference?

If you upload a picture longer than 800 pixels, I think the image normally displayed (e.g. when you clickon a thumbnail and go to the photo page) will be resized to 800 pixels -- you need to click the link "view full-sized image" to see it at full resolution.
Unless it is a print image I try to limit my uploads here to the 800-pixel challenge size limit -- partly for consistency and simplicity -- and I don't notice any problems. |

| I think what is happening is that because you are uploading at 1200 pixels, DPC is resizing to 800 pixels for the main image page. When it downsizes it, you lose a little sharpness in the downsampling. The trick is to resize and sharpen them at the size at which you know they will display. Just like for a challenge. |

Ok, thanks. That will be the reason then as when I click on the larger image it does look at lot better! So keeping it to 800 max will improve these shots then?

| Yes, if your images are no larger than 800 pixels you should see no difference between the image at home (viewed in the browser) and that uploaded here. |
