- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
So, I share my photos mostly on Facebook, and now Instagram seems to be taking over the social media sphere.
I know both are really not ideal photo sharing sites (tech-wise), but you have to go where the audience is...
Anyway - I had just gotten used to my favorite Lightroom preset for Facebook uploading (2048 pixels on the long edge with standard sharpening applied and some vibrance tweaks)
On Instagram though, I'm lost. I've heard you have to really reduce the pixel count in order to allow the uploads to not be crunched in a nasty way. If I take my standard Facebook setting, and use it for Instagram, the upload looks fine on my phone, but on the Instagram site, it looks pretty weak.
Has anybody found a preset that they love?
To reiterate, I hate Instagram as a photo sharing site, but I still want to have my pics on there for discoverability.
(Btw - I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark iii and usually the 24-105L lens)
Thanks to all of you!
