Reply to "Image quality"

patbrock,

I just checked with our developers who are responsible for the image upload and storage part of our system regarding your questions.

Yes, we do compress images that are uploaded before they are stored on the server, and so you aren't really any better off to upload maximum 'quality' (e.g minimum compression) images, as we will compress them.

Please note that we do NOT change the pixel dimensions of the image when compressing it, unless the image being uploaded is larger than our maximum which is 1280 x 1024. If it is larger, then we resize it down to the max pixel dimensions size I just gave.

Regarding increasing contrast or color vibrancy of images during upload, our site does not do that. If anything, our compression would likely reduce contrast and vibrancy, and most certainly won't increase either contrast or vibrancy over what you would see in an image viewed through an image editing tool like Photoshop, Adobe Elements, or similar.

Hope this information is helpful.
