PowderdToastMan Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 As the title says, i was going to try imagesharing but i cant seem to figure out how to simply link to my photo. The 1.5 mb limit for direct uploads seem so small i assumed everyone simply linked their photos from a 3rd party source. I cant seem to achieve that. Would anyone be able to inform me of what im missing here? Any help is greatly appriciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephenee13 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 1.5 MB, too small? You are trying to upload .bmp files, aren't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderdToastMan Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 No it was a jpg strait out of my screenshots. It was 5.9 megs. What am i doing wrong. if i reduce the file size to 1.5 it doesnt even look halfway decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 What game is it? the shots taken in Bethesdas games are Bitmaps. 6MB for a JPEG is very large unless you're playing at some crazy resolution. I upload 7-8MP images without them looking too horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP as in Megapixel, my last upload was 1000x9528 which is roughly 9.5MP. I got that under 1.5MB by reducing the quality to 78%, it doesn't look too bad considering the level of compression.

JimboUK Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 To be honest you shouldn't need to drop below 95% for 1080p screenshots, it all varies though depending on the content of image, for example an image taken a night with a lot of black will be far smaller than one taken during the day that's full of varied colours.
