Default preparing images for upload - tips

One of our new members was having problems preparing his images for upload to the site. His images were about 3500 pixels wide direct from his SD card.

The problem was his images were looking very soft when uploaded to the site. So I set out to solve the problem, and my findings below will be of interest to other people using this website.


I first processed his 3500 pixel wide image through photoshop with one level of sharpening and then uploaded it .. have a look:
http://www.airlinefan.com/view_photo...hotoid=5539000

Kind of looks soft, which is strange because the source image from the camera is tack sharp.

I then did maximum sharpening on the source image in Photoshop and uploaded again... have a look:
http://www.airlinefan.com/view_photo...hotoid=1276108

Notice that the maximum sharpening upload is tack sharp. It looks fantastic!

His images were coming off the camera fine but because they are so large in size, they needed to have maximum sharpening in Photoshop when they are reduced in size down to 1500 pixels in width.

So to get the pin sharp image you need to do a maximum sharpening in photoshop AFTER you reduce the image size down to 1500 pixels width.. and then your images will be tack sharp and ready for upload!
