- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I've shot my photos in raw, I edit them in lightroom, and then I export them as a jpeg once I've edited the photo to my liking. I then open the photo in CS5, do any additional editing (in this case none), and resize the image down to an acceptable resolution for Facebook (in this case around 1400 or less pixels for width, and 1400 or less for height). I make sure the file is saved correctly in CS5, and there we go. I then view the photo in various photo viewing programs, looks fine and consistent in each one... and finally, I upload the file to Facebook... and bam... it looks bad. I've tried uploading as a PNG and as a Jpeg, no luck. The issue really shows up with photos of people... it looks like Facebook adds noise, especially to the skin of the subject, and the sharpness degrades enough to make a sharp 1/1000 second shot look like it was a make-shift 1/100 second shot at 85mm (loses that nice finished feel).
I'm wondering if there's any way to really preserve the quality of the image when uploading to Facebook. For landscape photography, pictures of buildings, etc, the effect isn't noticeable really. However, for skin, I find it's really a big deal, and it's limiting what I can show on Facebook at the moment until I get this sorted out.
Shooting on a Nikon D5200 with the 16-85mm lens, 35mm 1.8G lens, and 70-300mm VR lens. Using photoshop lightroom, photoshop cs5, and of course Facebook. Shots look fine when uploaded to imageshack or any other image uploading service, however when uploaded to Facebook for an album, there's where the issue lies. I figure I need to limit the range of colors/tones in the image in order to avoid this issue (I really don't know), but I want to figure it out asap.
Any input? Thanks.
