Lately, I'm having a hell of a time uploading a quality image for the Waymarking site.
My "normal" image settings exporting from Lightroom is
Max dimensions 640x640, 72dpi, JPEG, Sharpen for Screen. This produces a very acceptable image that I then upload to my waymark. Upon arriving at waymarking.com the image sometimes develops horrible JPEG artifacts - to the point I've had waymarks declined due to poor image quality. Click on the same image for the "full screen view" and it's tack sharp.
Today, I've been trying to get a Municipal Flag photo with a white flag and a blue sky behind it and I'm at my wit's end.
What I've tried so far:
Full Resolution: 3872x2592x72dpi: Simply won't upload. Returns to a blank upload form.
So, I resize it for the website:
Here's what I see before I upload the "Normal image":
Here's what I see on Waymarking.com:
