I use outdated technology just for fun, listen to crappy music, and watch a lot of horror movies. Expect posts about These Things. I talk a lot.
Check tags like Star Trek Archive and Media Piracy to find things I share for others.
compare my photograph (first image) with the version Bluesky serves users when they load it at full size (second image). It's fucked! They've fucked my photo. I worked hard to create and maintain my grit and they go and soften it. Unacceptable
(edit: you may need to zoom in on account of the lightbox shrinking the presented size with more than one photo here. or just open in a new tab to view it at 100% size)
wow that's surprisingly terrible! not your photo obviously this really speaks to me!
not only did they jpeg-massacre my boy, they also resized it, making the noisy texture look even worse. i hate it
*looks at it in preview window* oh that doesn't look that ba-*opens the full-sized verisons* o-oh GOD this was a massacre
Same here, eewwwww
Love the noise/grit/dither in the original though, that’s choice
thank you. it's HP5+ pushed to EI 1600 in HC-110 dil. H, stand developed for one hour. it's just Good Ol Film Grain
they're slightly different sizes, even!!
granted i'm not aware of the intricacies of image compression, but the size of the image seems like an important factor to maintain
(...is that normal? i hope it isnt but i wouldnt be surprised...)
I'm going insane. I think I see a difference* in the lightbox but when I expand the images and switch between them, nothing. *could be caused be the left and right side of the picture being different color, though
i wonder how much of this is the downscaling to 1600x2000 and how much is actually jpeg overload... i'll guess jpeg load anyways though, downscaling shouldn't look this bad
EDIT: Saw the followup, the answer is 50/50... and why the heck is it upscaling!?
