The resolution is news to me, i thought what was posted was made available to everyone at 1920x1080. Are you seeing it as a .webp or something ? Ive increased the exposure setting and re-exported at max res, does this help ?

I didnt realise that posts here could be affecting there resolution from what was posted. This should be around 3,300 pixels wide.

I also thought it was a blurry/low resolution picture until you said that, then I clicked on it and full screening the picture caused it to fully load. Maybe the picture in the post is still just a preview until it’s been full screened?

Thanks for this.

There might be several things spawned from the initial upload and kept around. If i click on this post, initially im shown a square thumbnail, a ~20kb .webp file. If i click on the image, it shows me another .webp which is a bigger file and it doesnt fully show on the screen.

Clicking a third time opens up a .jpg for me, as best as i can tell its the original upload.

Maybe whats served depends on the view or app each person is using.. It might be further complicated if the server knows whether the person is viewing on a mobile device and try and serve lower resolution. . But i try and upload at atleast 1920x1080.

Thank you, this would literally never have occurred to me otherwise. I have really bad eyesight, too, so full screening pictures intentionally might make an accessibility difference

@AnAustralianPhotographer @JosephSmith3130 Your cross posting requires a log in to see the picture in full resolution. I think.
