DPI resolution is very important and is a big part of the reason why two different photos that may look exactly the same on screen have such wildly different file sizes. You see the difference in how long some photos take to load.

The same resolution photo on a 20" Monitor will have a different DPI on a 32" Monitor. DPI and resolution are 2 different things.

I'd have thought the forum software should be able to handle resizing images when they are uploaded?

I think the forum does

But it doesn't alter the uploaded file size

I use my Nikon D5300 or my Pentax KS2 for photo's, Think i have used my iphone for pictures twice since i joined POTV almost 4 Years ago. I use Imgur and find it the easiest, i did use Photo Bucket but they lost a shitload of my Pictures which were the only ones i had. I now have a 64gb SD Card which i always use as a back up. Plus the Cards in my Camera's which are always full even though i never go out.

I think you're getting confused between a 'FILE' and a 'DISPLAY'.

Display screens such as monitors and TV's are a seperate issue.

This is about digital image files.

Digital photographs and also videos in the form of JPG, MP4 or other kinds of file type contain a certain number of pixels or dots which gives you the resolution for that particular file.

A 10" x 8" photo will still have the same frame size (10 x 8) but the file size can vary wildly depending on the pixels or dots per inch so if you scanned it at 72 DPI and again at 1200 DPI it would still be a 10 x 8 photo but the file size would be 16 times larger.

I think you're the one that is confused. DPI is a physical term (Inch is a Physical measurement). A digital image has a pixel resolution that has no physical quality until it is rendered. Resolution (number of pixels W*H) is one factor in image size. Image Quality is also a factor, as well as image content.

I can see this is just going to go round and round in circles so I think I'll just move on.

Interesting you mentioned image content. Was playing around with my phone yesterday. Didn't change any settings but took 2 photos. One of the ceiling and another of some boxes. The ceiling image was 1.6MB and the boxes image was 3.8MB. Every day is a school day.

I would have thought a better idea would be to set a time limit on the threads of six months for general pictures after that time the pictures are automatically deleted from the server for me as I sell from pictures it will mean changing the picture format size and quality, I used to use Instagram links but this feature has been broken for a while now on here.

for vendors trying to promote and sell items high resolution pictures (I use mainly hdr, png, and 4k videos) are a must, most social media platforms I upload to take these.

1mb is tiny but I've been using it for a while now on here I'm reducing the size down to 10% in a compressed jpg format but it is a bit like an avatar in quality
