Question from Jodie: ” What resolution are your images that you post to facebook? 72? Mine almost always seem soft/blurry at 72.”
Angelajoy: I think its just a FB thing
Amber: Facebook lowers all resolution on pictures, i dont know why
Katie: I actually found a freebie FB resizing & sharpening action – the only preset of any sort that I use – that I use on the images that I post. Works like a charm. If you don’t sharpen, FB makes them way, way soft.
Jen: You can find lots of free resizing/sharpening for FB actions. I like the ones from Paint the Moon.
Katie: ^ That’s the one I use!
Madison: Any one know any suggestions for lightroom exporting?
Brittany: I use Lightroom but then open them up in ps to use the resizing actions from paint the moon and add my watermark.
Kathrin: Facebook sucks with pics ..everyone I know says that,try one side 960px and yes 72 dpi and sharpen a little after you done resizing
Sheila: i just change height to 800 and leave everything else
Jodie: Thanks everyone, I will try these!!
Jaye: I use 720 @72DPI and my images look pretty good on Facebook. I use BlogStomp to create my Facebook images.
