Does anybody else have problems with file size and resolution?

@Asyas_illos i see. I know what you can do. i'll get back to you in a minute

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

ok, so what happens is that if you upload a large-ish file, the site will resize your image. you'll know your image was resized because of the code used:

Also. your image will look blurry:

if you delete that "-resize" phrase, your image will be shown in it's original size and quality as seen below

@Nyrryl-Cadiz ok I’ll give it a go wish me luck

[Asyas_illos]

Ok so when I go to upload it says this

So then I go back to re select a size from these options

It’s very frustrating ! I don’t see that (resized ) anywhere because it made me select a smaller size

@Nyrryl-Cadiz thanks for trying to help me out I really appreciate it if there’s anything else you can think of let me know

Hi click the show preview to view the codes

In order to view the code like this

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@Asyas_illos looks like you have an option for actual size. Why didn’t you use that?

@Nyrryl-Cadiz

Ok so I selected a different canvas and saw the (resized) code and deleted it so I’ll try this out but I’ve got all that white excess on there

[Asyas_illos]

Does this look any clearer to you?

[Asyas_illos]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz because svs tells me it is too large

Svs says the max is 2500 kB and actual file size is 5mb

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@Asyas_illos ok, so what app or software are you using?

[Asyas_illos]

Trying again

Ok think I got something, does that last post look clear to you guys? It does to me, gonna try posting again in the contest thread!

[Asyas_illos]

I can’t thank you enough @Nyrryl-Cadiz with some canvas adjustments and your little resize trick I got something I can work with! And show my work proudly!

@Nyrryl-Cadiz I am using an iPad Pro with procreate

@Asyas_illos Please note that if you upload an image that is resized and it's blurry, if you simply click on the image it will open the original image to see it in all its detailed glory in a new window... I'm not sure what Jake, Will, and Lee use to view the entries for each challenge contest, but I'd be surprised if they didn't use @Chip-Valecek 's slideshow presentation instead of the thread itself. I'm pretty sure Chip uses the actual images for the slide show he assembles instead of the resized versions used by the forum interface's threads.

@Coreyartus thank you, it was still blurry even in the new window, but I eventually figured something out though it did give me a run for my money! With a combination of resizing canvases and duplications and little tricks from all the helpful red rabbits, I think it’s all squared away!
