Hi,

I, like many of us, upload photos to FB. With the recent improvement to resolution and a full screen feature I'm wondering what tips people have to make the photos look at their best?
I'm asking as their guide suggests resizing to either 720 px, 960 px, 2048 px. Firstly, what does that mean? 2048 pixels on the longest edge I guess? Secondly, why does this matter, So they don't process it themselves thus losing quality?
I'm working in Lightroom and also wondering about the 'sharpen for screen' option when exporting. Should I use that when I've already sharpened manually?
Also, is there any other benefit using the inbuilt FB publish feature?

Any other tips or pointers would be great, Thanks :)
 
How can anyone make a photo page and display their work and market themselves on facebook as a photographer when it annihilates your images :(

Well since last month it seems to have improved a lot, but you have to click full-screen to see best effect. Plus full screen doesn't work in IE
