Put my first set of images up today. Although i lost a bit quality. Any advice on where im going wrong?

What size/how many pixels wide are you, looks like the resolution you upload at is too small. Try 1800w, should do the trick.

If your colours appear dull, check your colour space is sRGB as that is what DSI uses.

How do i go about doing this? Sorry if i sound stupid but im pretty new to all this!

Are you editing them at all (if so on what software) or uploading them directly from the camera?

Or if you look at the camera settings for image size or quality, they often show how many pixels wide the photo is....

I just uploaded them straight from the camera. I dont have photoshop or any editing software uploaded yet. I have iphoto on my mac if thats any help.

Then I would have a look at the files size setting on your camera....I suspect you might have it set to 640w or low res. Try taking the next lot of photos on high res.

My camera is set to Large quality 4272x2848. Is this set right or should i have it differant?

That sounds right. Then I'm not really sure what is happening then, perhaps someone else my have a suggestion?

Does the camera also create a folder of (quite big) thumbnails which you are uploading by mistake instead of the right folder?

Ah yes, I made this mistake with my first DSI upload.....check it's not the thumbnails folder.

I used my macbook at home, and on a college PC just now so cant check. Will do when i get home!

Thanks for all your help by the way!! It is much appreciated :D

I know when I burn photos to cd from my mac, if I do the burn from I-photo it will burn a tumbnails folder and a normal folder.....so.....


If you are uploading....to be certain you don't select the thumbnails....make a folder on the desktop, copy your photos from iphoto into this folder then upload from this folder. Once finished, trash the folder on the desktop. If you upload from the 'my pictures' folder option... I think that is when you get the tumbnail option.

Ahhh cool. Il give that a try then!!

I just tried and still no luck :( Dont have a clue where to go from here!

go look at one of the photos you tried to upload on your comp, what's the size of the file?

Its 4272x2848 4.7mb

stumped, maybe ask someone in here: DontStayIn website

cant see why if the file is that large its uploading at 320 * 260 pixels

other than double checking you are select the correct file (try copying one and calling it some stupid name to make sure you are selecting the right one)

Finally managed too get it sorted! Was the uploading settings on my mac that were causing it too be resized.

Thanks very much for all the help!
