Museless Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I recently created a group on facebook and upload an image but the image shrinks automatically and has bad quality on facebook. Any one familiar with this? It's a ridiculous curve ball to what I've been working on. Anyone familiar with this nonsense with any advice?

Simon Brown Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Are you sure you aren't looking at the thumbnail? If not, my suggestion is to find out the size Facebook resizes your image to and resize it to that in Paint.NET and then perform the necessary adjustments. Also, make sure you save as PNG to maintain full quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Host the picture somewhere else then. Probably does the same thing the latest Windows Live Messenger does ... even if you try to share a pristine PNG, it JPEG-ifies it so that download sizes are "more manageable."

Museless Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 I discovered the problem. It's the canvas. It's saving along with the PNG. Any simple way of making the canvas wrap around? I'm doing it manually now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I don't understand the problem either. I've shared some of my Paint.NET created works on Facebook and never had a problem. Maybe there is something specific to his images... I don't know.

becauseilearn Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 If I read this right, what is happening is that the image is exactly what is wanted but the canvas size is much larger than necessary. If this is what the problem is, the solution would be to select a smaller area around the image and crop to selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
