![]() Oh how I wish we would return to those days. I remember the days when web design was all about accessibility. They usually come with tiny font sizes, and are generally pretty inaccessible. If you upload small pictures to tumblr it means you’re stuck using a narrow tumblr theme. This means you miss out on seeing a larger version of your picture or pictures, and lose so much of that gorgeous detail that you spent so long trying to capture. ![]() If you upload small pictures to tumblr, you lose out on all the benefits of being able to use the lightbox feature. PNG files are larger than JPG files, but you can upload images up to 10mb in size to tumblr, so as long as they aren’t too big you’ll be fine. You can save repeatedly in PNG format without losing image quality. File sizes will be larger, but no information will be lost. In the meantime, save your progress using PSD (Photoshop’s own proprietary format, which allows you to save layers as well), or PNG, which is a lossless format. If you want to save as jpg for the smaller file size, leave it until you have your absolute final version of the image. The more times you save the same image, the more damage is done, and you will see compression artifacts start to appear. Jpg is a lossy format, which means each time you save it compresses the image in a way that a little bit of information is lost. Your image quality will be better.ĭo NOT repeatedly save your images as jpg. When you’re saving your pictures in Photoshop, make sure you choose Save As and NOT Save for Web. Downsampling is the holy grail of screenarchery. When I take pictures at 4k+ resolutions it’s because when they are displayed on 1080p or 1440p screens they look a lot cleaner and less jaggy and have more pixel information to show more detail. ![]() Larger images will be downscaled and downscaling is the same as downsampling and it’s something that makes pictures look better, not worse. If you’re uploading pictures that are smaller than tumblr’s default dashboard width they will be upscaled to fit and will look awful. In terms of maximum height, the only rule I’ve come across is that when placing 2 or 3 pictures next to each other they should be of similar height or the taller ones will be cropped and not display properly. I only resize my pictures because I take them at huge resolutions (upwards of 4k), and I resize them down to ~1440p simply for file size and uploading bandwidth purposes (so my final pictures I upload to tumblr are around 1-7mb in size, as opposed to anywhere from 15-60+mb).
