Howdy and happy new year to all :)

How does everyone prep their pictures for internet?
I cant help thinking the pictures in lightroom/photoshop look so much better than once ive uploaded them...
In short I edit in LR, then right click and edit in CS6, then save as Jpeg and upload.
I wont bother asking about facebook as picture quality on there is 'laughable', but what about flickr?
Anyone have any methods other than what Im doing for better image quality? or is that as good as it gets?

Cheers all
 
I do the same as you mate. Just ensure the dpi is at a decent setting (180 or above) and it'll do.

It does annoy me how different browsers render the images though! My preferred browser or chrome for example always darkens images :(
 
Yeah I use Chrome which seems to do a passive scan for images unlike IE and Firefox,
Its just a bit depressing seeing a good image ruined by net compression :/
 
In photoshop there are different methods of re-sampling the image when resizing which I use to either keep gradients smooth or ensure the image doesn't become soft.
 
My current method is:

1)Upload the RAW into LR.
2)Adjust any lighting and colors if required.
3)Put into Photoshop if I need to do some serious editing.
4)Export with Watermark and upload to flickr.
 
I do the same as the op. Flickr isnt that bad really, and i think thats the best we are going to get, some times i save as TIFF for flickr but never really noticed the difference.
 
Thats cos flickr allows tif uploads but converts it to jpeg so tiff or jpegs uploaded to flickr should be the same,
log1k its a pre release ;)
