Jimmyd Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Interesting image. Disconcerting in a good way. When I view it at 100% I find the color patches and artefacts distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donna, the artifcatcs in your photo is very clearly visible when viewed at full size. This is caused by too high image compression. Your file size is very small compared to the number of pixels. The artifacts looks like squares and causes a lack of detail and tonal smoothness. If you print this out, it will be very visible. Did you compress the photo or is this the way it came out of your camera? If it's straight from your camera, perhaps your quality setting is at small or something like that? i would change it to at least medium. If you have opened it in a program on your computer and re-saved it, you need to cange the settings... look for JPG quality settings. There can be a number, usually 1-10 or 1-12, with high number being better. If possible, I suggest you revert to the original file from the camera. I like the photo in itself very much, it's just the technical quality which is disturbing. cheers nm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
