Resizing for Facebook

Filed Under: Photography Tagged With: Wordless Wednesday

I used to have the perfect action that did Resizing for Facebook but it doesn’t work well anymore. The photos get very distorted, blurry and all around look really bad. Well I tried out a few different things last night and made an action that works well with Facebook right now. Who knows when Facebook will change things up again. I used my Facebook Action on these photos : Horizontal & Vertical. Anyways try it out and let me know how it works for you. Would love to hear your feedback.

    This is neat. I swear one of these days I am going to learn how to use Photo Shop and expand my photo editing skills beyond cropping and brightening....

    Thanks! Can't wait to try this. Generally speaking, do you save anything you edit as a png? This is something confusing for me. I'm typically using jpegs for everything. But, I don't always like the quality on my blog.
    • Sarah says

      September 25, 2012 at 5:34 pm

      I do not. This is a new thing that I found. It seems to be better on Facebook.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
