p.2 #1 · What LR and Photoshop setting for Facebook?


In LR I export for facebook to 720px on the long side in sRGB with screen sharpening set to high, and add my watermark.

Last time I checked, 960 pixels on the long side was the standard for FB.

I just uploaded a set yesterday at ~1300px wide - resized in PS. Looks pretty good to me! Dunno why some of you guys still upload only at 720px - that's waay too small - bigger images are so much better, trust me.

This.

And yes, awesome work on the set posted.

I remember seeing that previously, time to look through it again.

up to a few weeks ago the official size was 960px long edge for facebook, then it changed to 2048 x 2048 max resolution. Their compression algorithm changed to handle srgb conversion much better. Usually to keep images sharp just for facebook I take images and do a Photoshop unsharp mask at 500% at 0.2px, 0 threshold and it insures sharpness against any compression mishaps or image quality loss.

Have you tried this thing ?

I use it most of time it gives me good results. Once in a while it craps image out.

Why is bigger better? I don't really want huge versions of my images all over the web for people to do with as they please...

Put a watermark in the corner or edge, and live with it. As soon as you upload it anywhere, you've lost control of it. Why even post onto a social networking site if you don't want people to see it?

I *wouldn't* post them on a social networking site if I didn't want to see it... but that doesn't mean I want to give them a giant image.
