Photo Upload Size??

Tom Potter

Hey Guys,

What is the recommended file size for an individual photo that one should upload to SmugMug for viewing purposes?

What is the max size for the purpose of a sale?

This is for a PRO account.

Thx,
Tom

Hey Andy,

Thanks for the info. I checked that page and further landed on a page that indicates specific pixel sizes for the size photo desired. I am a bit confused, however. Is it find to upload Jpegs or do I need to convert to sRGB prio to doing so? Sorry if this sounds so basic - but, I'm a photographer, not a techie. Also, what is it that determines the size a given file will be? Is it whether one shoots RAW, Jpeg, etc? Thanks man....Tom:D

Tom, I got your PM as well. Sorry for the late reply to your posting this morning. I just got off the airplane, redeye flight from the west coast back to NY.

Upload JPGs only. sRGB color space. Upload your largest file possible, you'll get the best quality. The res chart is our minimums but more will yield a better print.

If you have questions about RAW and JPG, a great place to discuss this, with your peer pros, and many industry experts, is our Finishing School on Digital Grin. Here's the direct link to the Finishing School: http://www.dgrin.com/forumdisplay.php?f=10
