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....

    • Sarah says

      September 26, 2012 at 8:55 pm

      I am not completely sure but I heard they look better on facebook. I uploaded both and could see a slight difference.

    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.
