Hi Ray,

Just a question, is there any chance we could have 16-9 as an aspect ratio. Most screens are wide nowadays and most Aircraft shots benefit from this size with less distractions around the Aircraft. [ In my opinion ]..

Thanks Mike..........

Hi Joop,

That's always a concern, but I don't think 200px is going to make that much of a difference. People will still do what they want to do. Sure, adding a watermark is another option.

Mike - that's definitely something to think about. I will definitely keep it in mind.

I just encountered a new issue: for the post processing of slide scans I use NeatImage for noise reduction. This runs only for images up to 1024 pixels wide.
I could skip the NeatImage step in my post processing, but this will decrease the image quality.
Is there an alternative for noise reduction in pictures lager than 1024 pixels?

Joop

Hmmm, interesting. Didn't think about that, but we have tons of images, even as high as 1600px, that are way less than 1MB. Do we need to increase the file size limit?

thanks,

Ray

@Joop
No problems with NeatImage here - maybe reinstall it ? Otherwise Nik Collection: https://www.google.com/intl/nl/nikcollection/ (dutch version, for english you can use https://www.google.com/intl/en/nikcollection/ )

I'ts free (since march 2016, before up to 650EUR), it's easy and it will be updated soon by a new company - google has sold it to DxO: https://nikcollection.dxo.com

Uploading digital images I have no problem with file size. Slide scans are when using high quality (low compression) JPEG.
If I'm the only one experiencing these problems, then it is my problem.

Joop,

Seems odd. Not sure if this is of any help but recently I've uploaded a few shots now at 1200 x 800px - max quality in PS and getting an average image size of 900kb. I also went through the same process with a few slide scans and have the same results with the file sizes.

I start off with a 110MB 32 bits TIFF slide scan or 75MB digital image, that I process. When ready I reduce to 1200 pixels wide and do the sharpening as last step.

Joop

Sorry but this is a bad solution
Why you force the members to use 1200?!
Everyone should optional to choose wich size he uploaded.

I will stop upload pictures here when I can not upload my pics in 1024!

Sorry it was a little bit misunderstanding.
The minimum photo size should be 1000. Like now!
When user upload their pictures in higher resolution, they can do it! But for me and I think many other members have personally reasons to upload pictures only in 1024.

Evening folks,

For what its worth and my last post on the topic, I've just carried out a quick run through my process of scanned slide to 1200px x 800 px image to see what the results are.

Scanned slide = a 57MB TIFF image, clean that up and edit in PS CC, crop to 1200 x 800 and save at max file size for that ratio (12) which gave me a 1.0MB image. A run through the Reduce Noise filter in PS CC resulted in a 710kb image.

No doubt with taking a bit more care through the process (the above took me 10 minutes) I'd be in the 820 - 900kb image size area.

Cheers, Tom

where is the problem? A good slide looks good in 1200 too! Then the quality remains at least!

Hi Carl,

If you go to "My Photos" page, you will now see a new column for Width. Enjoy!

You're welcome, Carl. Yes, it's a lot of work, but one benefit is with your new scanner, the scans are looking much better.
