Digital images viewed on the net compared to what you can expect to see when they are printed
Hi all,
First the digital stuff:
I was wondering if the images that come from the digital source, posted
on the web, are the way they will look when they are printed? In other
words, are the photos seen posted on Pbase and other various photo
sites the actual photo that will be developed or are these photos
showing a compressed version that isn't as nice as the final developed
photo? I would think a person that posts their best in these galleries
would show the best the photo can look like. Then again, if one likes
the 16MB file they have and this is too large to load into website's
database, then the more compressed version must be given (hence, a
poorer quality of look?). I'm trying to figure out what these images I
have been looking at from all sorts of cameras (i.e. Pentax IST, Konica
7D, Olympus E-1, Fuji S models, Canon 20D/5D/1DSMKII/etc., Nikon
D70/D200/etc. etc.).
The next question deals with a similar subject. When viewing the
galleries on dpreview dot com, they have a link to view the "actual
image". This is something like a 3.5mb image in jpeq. Again, much
smaller than say, the Canon 1DSMKII can produce...but they say it is
the actual image or best image (forget what exactly it is they say and
am too lazy to go see;)). Anyhow, are the images they are showing
going to be the ones that you will see when you print them or are they,
too, in a compressed form?
A third question and final question, what will these images that I view
on the web "generally" look like when printed? I know this question is
likely redundant, but all in all, when a pro photographer has their
images on a website for sale, is what you see on the screen going to be
exactly what you will get in life?...or will it look better, different,
worst, etc.?
Just trying to figure out how amateur and professional photographers
get images onto the net and what to expect to see when this image is
printed onto paper and place into a photo album or in a gallery.
Thanks all!!!
