Are Photos Uploaded to Shutterfly at the Same Resolution as Original

For pics uploaded to shutterfly, what resolution?

For pics uploaded to shutterfly, what resolution?

Aug 14, 2004

I am using shutterfly to share my pictures with family and friends. At what resolution should I load the pictures, for a friend to get good results if south/he wants to guild prints through shutterfly?

I utilise PS Elements, and to load to shutterfly, I do batch processing, saving equally a low rez jpeg. This gives me about a 300 to 500 thousand file. If I save at a resolution of 300 the photo is over 1mb. This is big to load even with my DSL connection, especialy if I am loading multiple pics!

Then what settings should I utilize to load pictures to Shutterfly, particularly if friends want to print?

Thanks,

Cliff

Thanks Chris. What do you mean by big file? Is that 300kb, 1/2mb, 1mb?

Appreciate your insight.

Re: For pics uploaded to shutterfly, what resolution?

If you lot are going to print, 300dpi (ppi) is the resolution that is loosely regarded every bit "photo quality" for inkjet prints. I've also had good 300dpi digital prints via photographic procedure made up a Ritz (no comments delight ;•0 )

If you use photoshop, you can play with the jpg quality setting at salve time to reduce file size. Maybe y'all could have a single file and save information technology 10 or 12 of the various jpg-qualities and have a set printed. Compare and chose. The modest investment might pay for itself via the knowledge you gain.

It may also be that the small size of the print, if it is downsampled from a large original, will finer mask whatsoever jpg artifacts present.

Promise this helps a picayune,

Thanks, Shelby. I will effort 300dpi

Thanks, Shelby. I will save the images via PSE to be 300 dpi and see what size epitome (kb) that gives me.

It volition be interesting to encounter what file size this gives me. If information technology is huge, I volition have to salve at a lower dpi, as one of the master reasons that I am trying online is so that people can look AND Print at my snapshoots online. If the file is besides large, the people with boring connections won't be able to view easily.

Re: Thank you, Shelby. I will try 300dpi

Y'all want to upload the best resolution that you can go for press - regardless of the size. You lot mentioned that y'all accept a high speed connection (DSL) then it shouldn't be a trouble. I upload 100's of photos at a time to shutterfly and have no problem with 3-4 mb files. Just start the upload process at night before y'all go to bed and they will be done before you lot become up

Re: Thank you, Shelby. I will try 300dpi

Shutterfly doesn't have TIFF files (unfortunately) so I catechumen my 17MB TIFFS into a 3-5MB JPGs before printing in that location. I print 20X30 with great qualit, despite the JPG file. You lot may simply need 200 DPI depending on the level of detail in your photo.

Does anyone know a site that prints loftier quality 20X30 and acccepts TIFF large files?

But what nigh the people with slow connections?

Thanks tbdphotog.

You are correct that with my DSL I could upload large files at night. But I as well want to employ Shutterfly to permit friends and family to wait at the photos. Many of them accept slow connections, so need low-rez for that.

Does Shutterfly permit me to upload hello-rez for printing then somehow convert to low-rez for easy viewing? Or do I need to upload two files, a hi-rez for printing and a depression-rez for viewing?

What do you think?

Cliff

Re: But what most the people with slow connections?

They do that! Regardless of the resolution that you upload - when others go to view the shared images off of shutterfly they are only seeing a "large thumbnail" of the photo and not the unabridged picture. So they can view them with a dial upward no problem.

What practise you lot think?

RE: seeing a large thumbnail

tbdphotog, cheers much for the answer. The thumbnail matter is obvious and I missed information technology. Now I will load some images and see what friends say, especially about printing.
