Un fortunatly this image lost everything being converted from 32 meg to 45 kb It now looks awful, It used to have velvet smooth tones in the background. Maby I shouldn't reduce them in size so much? I am new to this forum. Please let me know.
I suspect your post processing had more to do with it, though the EXIF data for the photo lacks much capture info. I'm seeing the file size as 84.6 kb The image in this thread: http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/black-white-gallery/204734-industrial-arts.html went from 246.8 mb (not counting the added canvas) to 124 kb.
