It seems fine, I wish people would post images that physically big because its nice to zoom in and see actual details. And despite the encoding when you zoom in there is still plenty of detail.
my question is about the old photos that are already of marginal quality just due to the cameras they are taken with for instance some of the 10-12 year old threads. how do they look when you do the same thing. my worry is there are some old threads that represent either the only boat of that type on this forum or maybe the only one finished of that type, and it would be terrible to lose those images.
The forum upgrade is complete. It was very uneventful. Please post issues in this thread.
Due to a high level of "bad actor" traffic on the community site Jaysen is implementing a forced verification to confirm that you are a human. This is a PITA and he hates it too. The 3.2 seconds it takes for the one time you have to do it every couple hours is much preferable to the hours we are losing to morons clogging the CPU on the servers. Jaysen is still looking to solve this a bit less intrusively and without cost to BBC. Hopefully the magic solution will appear out of thin air soon. Jaysen is already annoyed.

Re: Board disk space issues
Good point by jm. No reason to compress a low res image.

Re: Board disk space issues
The I love you images that are being removed are the ones that are not really in any db (phoBB or coppermine).
As to old images and resolution… if a file is larger than 1M it will get resized. Resizing is just enforcing a 800px width on the image. While this loses some resolution it won’t make any resolution to an already low res image from an old camera. If you have a specific example I’ll use it as another test object.

Re: Board disk space issues
If the image is low res and over a meg, there’s a good reason to compress it. Think about it and it will make sense.fallguy1000 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 9:01 pm Good point by jm. No reason to compress a low res image.

Re: Board disk space issues
Low res camera but large file means lossy format. That means pixel averaging. This shows up as blocky or grainy images. By reducing the pixel density via a resize (modern algorithm that is effectively lossless) you wind up with an image that looks much better.
Re: Board disk space issues
I went back and looked at some of the ones I was thinking of and they are tiny files sizes like 100 to 150 kB. so no worries ther
