A little trial to see if FastStone is as blunt an instrument as Moose suggests.
At the top of
http://www.brianswale.com/zuikoholics/
I have uploaded a 1.6 Mb segment of the Gibbston vineyard image,
containing the sky that Moose suggested should have shown a lot more
detail than my (large) web image presents.
This is a crop from the jpeg straight out of the E-3 using Irfanview,
unmodified in any way by me except to crop. No sharpening, no gamma, no
resizing, no file size reduction, nothing.
Moose suggested that the sky had been spoiled by FastStone in the web
version lower down in the page.
In my opinion, it has not been spoiled.
If any of you have the time, I'd appreciate comment about that.
in any case, from my point of view as photographer taking the photo, the sky
was not the reason for the shot. If I had been thinking of taking sky shots
that day, the camera would have stayed locked in a cabinet at home ... the
sky was totally unremarkable to look at. But not the poplars in new leaf, as a
backdrop to the vineyard in Spring.
I was amazed I managed to upload a file this size to my site without
disconnection. From NZ to Singapore. When I tried to download the file to
check its dimensions just after, I was repeatedly disconnected; so all I can
say is that at least 90% of what I intended to upload actually made it there.
If somebody can tell me what the height of the uploaded file is, I'll be
grateful. I can then set the correct size in the html file that contains it.
Brian Swale.
