Needed Larger Faa Web Page Art Image

I think they are actually 900px. I think that's enough! I use a desktop and the images look fine to me. You can always increase the size of a website on your computer! hit CTRL and +

I am conflicted, as usual. If they look great on the screen, they will probably make nice, small prints for anyone who wants to steal them. If they look crappy on the screen (as mine do here) how will a potential buyer ever know that high res versions will be used for printing instead of the cruddy, low res ones they see on their screen?

It sounds like you need to do some adjustments to your monitor for viewing....

What about phones screens? People purchase artwork from their phones.

Kathleen, I think it comes down to sales, the people that steal will not affect your sales. It is a big web world with millions of viewers, too small of numbers to impact your viewers/market.

Jessica, I am only talking about larger table top computers in this post.

Marlene, you think it is a matter of adjustment? I was using a college library computer screen so I am not familiar with how their computers work. The Help Desk employee was standing beside me when I pointed it out, he didn't seem to know there was any solution. That would be great if that is all it is, just an adjustment, although I noticed the same blurry images on the local library screens.

It would seem all those computer screens need adjusting which seems a bit strange since the first page of the college computer has a crystal clear image of a seascape which covers the whole screen.

Kathleen, why do you say they look crappy? I'm very pleased with how they display. Suzanne, I wouldn't go by a public computer to judge how images appear. How do you upload your images to FAA?

Jessica, I have no problems with FAA images on my laptop, they appear crisp, clear, png images taken with a dslr lens and camera.

No one on their personal table top computer has blurry images? I need to check out other POD sites when I am on one of those public computers and compare with FAA images.

From time to time, people post problems here with page payouts, blurry text, text not fitting etc.., and it always seems to be changing monitor settings.....I'm on a laptop now, have checked my phone...your images look fine, as they do when I'm at my monitor at home....
Go to your home screen and right click....try messing in graphic properties if you have a pc....
the library may have enlarged for easier reading of text, which chould impact the image clarity.....just a thought.

Marlene, what makes me wonder is the large pic of a seascape that covers the whole screen on the college library site is crisp and clear showing detail in the image. I was taken back when I looked at my FAA images. I am happy with how my images look on my laptop, the same as on the editor before I upload.

Jessica, thank you for looking at my images, It seems it's not a big deal, the public screens apparently need adjusting or don't have the resolution..

"The library may have enlarged for easier reading of text, which chould impact the image clarity.....just a thought." That's a very good thought!

"what makes me wonder is the large pic of a seascape that covers the whole screen on the college library site..." A large picture should not cover the whole screen. That means the library enlarged its view, as Marlene said for easier reading.

Suzanne, I see significant artifacts due to file compression. It's more evident on some images than others, but they're there and they do degrade the display.

I don't see how you can do any justice to your art working from a laptop. I do all my editing on a 22 inch calibrated monitor. Your art is not blurry. It must be something with the library's system.

I have a giant monitor set at a ridiculously high resolution and the images look perfect to me.

I suspect the monitor setup/resolution.

Yeah, at 900 pixels it kind of walks a tight rope between people taking screen shots ans selling our images on various things and giving a good view that will enhance sales.

That said, I have a big ole monitor at work and the images look great. My guess is that monitor or system was not good.

As it is the images are big enough to steal and sell as cell phone covers.

Kathleen, yes it is a problem when I sharpen some things. Bradford is right a larger screen would be much better since I am guessing on my work somewhat. FAA does it's sharpening thing on the website image which doesn't help matters. The compression comes from FAA affecting the sharpening since I upload png files. One nice thing about that little green box is when I just viewed what looked like compression on one of my pics it went away!

If more than one of you are saying things look good on your tabletop computer then I am pretty convinced resolution must be the problem, even though the seascape looks crisp, it was probably taken with a full frame camera and can look good at a lower resolution and probably is a larger px size.

I assume you mean desktop. Desktop computer. As opposed to Laptop.

A tabletop computer is one that is built into a table, like this:

Cynthia, thanks I knew the term was a little off, but couldn't think of the right word! Didn't realize there really is a table top that is different from the desktop! lol
