Up until recently I have been using a 4.3 inch 720pish smartphone to view instagram pics (as well as my own that I upload to), I have now just come to own a Samsung tab S2 which has a very high PPI for an 8 inch screen. What I am seeing is that when I transfer the uncompressed original files to the tablet, during the editing process the photo looks fabby and detailed, but after when posted it looks kinda compressed and worse. It maybe all the tablets doing, and in reality the pics look fine on other tablets and devices, I'm just wondering if throwing a 10-15mb picture to instagram is
actually worse than optimizing it first then passing through (and with optimization I mean resize etc)?
My Instapage is here;
Emmet Bricked (@emmetbricked) ? Instagram photos and videos
Normally how my work flow goes is; picture snapped>transfer to pc>editing raw in LR>exported as Jpg (Quality 100, no resize here)>uploaded to flickr and at the same time emailed to myself so that i can retrieve it on the phone and push across to instagram. I figured insta would resize it anyway.
If there is a way to tell LR to export two versions, one to go to PC folder as JPG quality 100 and the other to be emailed directly to myself at a certain resize (for insta), then that might be really advantageous in quicker upload/downloads without much work/hassle on my part...
Cheers,
