Image Uploading Issues
Hi everyone! I just joined a few days ago and happy to be experimenting with the site. I've noticed a few things that raised a couple questions, however, and did a search for them in the forums but didn't see anything addressed specifically that I found helpful.
1. When I edit a photo at 8 x 10 and upload it, why does the size in the system read 10 x 7.88?
2. I uploaded a photo, it looked great, but I wanted to replace it with a square cropped version. In my computer, in my own software, this looked totally fine. It was sharp, and clear. When I replaced the image with the edited square image, it looked horribly pixelated. Cropping would in no way have damaged the integrity of the file to that degree, and the image looked fine in my computer and prints beautifully at a 8" square from my own printer. It also looked fine uploaded to other sites. So, I'm curious what would cause the pixelation on this site only. If I delete the photo entirely and try to upload again, it is still pixelated. But only for this site, and it only occurred after I tried to replace the original image. It was curious, so I figured I'd see if this is just a site glitch type of thing. You can see what I'm talking about on this pic http://fineartamerica.com/featured/bee-on-red-flower-nicole-hanna.html ... it's heavily pixelated around the edges of the flower, which shows up in no other instance.
Thanks for the help!
