I tended to oversharpen everything, especially in the smaller final output JPEG for web display. And scans that looked good on my CRT at 800圆00 resolution in 2001 look pretty dreadful today. My skills have improved, and I've become more critical of my own work. Properly sharpened JPEGs that looked good on our systems may appear oversharpened with halos and jaggies, or too soft when viewed online.Īlso, I've noticed many of my b&w film scans and flatbed scans of b&w prints done 10 or more years ago now look pretty awful to me. Other repeating patterns may show moire that wasn't apparent in the original. Textured areas such as asphalt or concrete may show reptile scale-like patterns. The resizing and rescaling do odd things to the pixies. Even on I occasionally see scaling artifacts when photos uploaded at widths larger than 700 pixels to our portfolio spaces are embedded in discussion forums or when photos larger than 680 pickles wide are uploaded and automagically resized. I'm not sure what the solution is to that problem. One of the challenges to presenting photos on dynamic pages is minimizing quality loss due to scaling artifacts. The challenge to web design now is getting pages to present the crucial elements - text, photos, graphics - to look right without breaking, covering something up, or weird aspect ratios. Usually when a photo looks good on the calibrated computer on which it was edited and wonky on another device, the problem is with the other device, browser or coding on the page on which it's viewed. Well edited photos should look good on almost any device. I've got piles of exposed film but little desire to process and present it. I'd like to hear how it looks on your device. Below is a rudimentary webpage I assembled using RW. I'm currently doing battle with Rapid Weaver. I'm interested in hearing what you use to assemble websites.

My website, though full of product, is laughable when viewed on most of the devices whined about above. Actually, I'm trying to get some web-design skills.
Sandvox forums update#
In an effort to battle this uninspired techno-funk, I've been trying to update my web-design skills. It's a question of values, like all other things in life. Maybe I should say "what people glance at photographs with." įew care. And yet, that's what people look at photographs with. It's even worse when I look at a photograph on a cell phone of any size. Photos are stretched, mashed, pixelated and re-colored. The difference between the way photos look on my large screen Imac and on my wife's laptop is shocking. They're all small and there's no universal calibration among them. People look at photographs on countless devices these days. Not so much by the process but by the way the product is received. Over the past year or so I've become disenchanted with photography.
