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.

Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest kid to lose their first tooth.

It’s been loose for awhile, but when she bit a lollipop at school today it became super loose and started bleeding. Then she was crying. I went to pick her up and by the time I had gotten there she had pulled it out, it had stopped bleeding, and she had stopped crying. Still can’t believe she is old enough to be losing teeth. 🦷

Nothing spectacular, but she was excited. Of course I had to film it so it was bokeh, cause it is so much prettier that way.
