Re-sizing
re-sizing ???
Am I correct in thinking that this forum will display at no more than 800px wide?
Cheers.

If you upload from your computer it gets resized to 800 wide, but if you link to say a Flickr image it gets displayed larger

Just so I'm understanding this correctly, are some of ye sharpening twice, once during pp and again after
re-sizing ???
Hi Peter, there are two types of workflow sharpening ....Capture and Output.
Capture sharpening is to correct for any inherent softness at the point of capture ...eg the effect of an AA filter . Also it is to take account of the subject type ...eg portraits or architecture, which would demand different amounts of Capture sharpening.
For camera jpegs then this process is applied via the custom image settings. For RAW then the process is applied in the RAW converter. The RAW advantage is of course that it can be selective, eg only for the eyes of a portrait.
Output sharpening is the last step before outputting a new version of your image....eg a jpeg for printing or a smaller one for the web. Both of these would demand a different account also (generally the larger images for print needing more).
I believe that many photographers do not apply sufficient Capture or Output sharpening, or miss one out altogether.

1st one my normal way from a 17.5mb image 6000 px long side
2nd one saved for web, quality 40% to get the file size down low enough, bicubic sharper, 6000 px long side
last one saved for web, bicubic sharper, 1000 px long side
Unless viewing actual image on my pc. As I try to zoom in on it the 1000 px one falls apart as I zoom in.
The nice thing about using a dedicated process dialogue such as PhotoShops "save for web" (and no doubt the same for Philips PaintShop Pro), is that we don't have to do any calculations to figure out the correct sharpening settings (radius and amount) .... It's all sorted automatically based on the image size and quality settings.

Good thread lots of interesting points and learning curves.
At 532p wide nothing is going to look too good on this site

Derek, the forum software has reduced all these to 532p wide in my case,
The long side is 800p.

No guarantee that that will always be the case though.
