Can you tell why the original file that I wanted to upload was 240kb but the one the server posted is smaller and only 45k? At lot has been lost.
I found out that at least for me that the pictures that i upload from "flicker" retain a greater amount of properties and they look better than the ones that i use this site to upload from. If I have a favorite pic say 10mb or smaller in flicker -I don't have to resize it to under 1.45 mb to use it here. The same picture can be 500,000 bytes as compared to 100,000 bytes.I get less "artifacts" using flicker.I hope this helps----charliezap
