Ok, but for people reading on mobile or on larger/smaller screens than 1080p, is it better to leave them 800x600 or to scale them to 50%?
I think 100% looks bad on 1080p screens.
Ok I’ll do that.
Just thought it would be easier to do 800x600 because CPF doesn’t want you posting images larger than that, but I guess I can upload them twice.
Yeah but the rules still say to not post images larger than that or you can get banned if you od it repeatedly, probably due to the large file size or processing needed to downscale the image.
Thanks I’ll do that.
I’ll still limit the images to 1600x1200 since imgur doesn’t have options to downscale to any larger sizes.
The next step up would be full res 6000x4000 from my camera and that would make the page take ages to load on some people’s internet connections
I’ll save that for the final pics.
I upload this 6000x4000 picture to imgur which resized it automatically to 3200x2400, due to size limit to 1MB.
(Non-animated images over 1MB for anonymous uploads and 5MB for account holders will be lossily compressed).
This is the largest thumbnail, by adding “h” before “.jpg”
If you have an account, there is no problem to upload a 6000x4000 picture as long as its size in MB is not over 5MB. Make a thumbnail and add a link to the full size.
If you want to resize your image once uploaded to imgur, put your mouse in the top right corner of the image, choose “edit” :
Type the new size (for example “2600”), click “apply” and then “save”. Copy the new shared link, add a letter for the thumbnail.
You need to go into your account settings and enable high quality.
Then the images do not get lossy compression (they get very little compression, but it is lossless)
So for example one of my 4.5MB pics might be compressed to 4MB, but remain 6000x4000 and not lose any quality.
EDIT- actually if they are over 5MB they will get lossy compression, you’re right.
Also yes you can resize to whatever resolution you want individually, but that is a pain to do for many images so it is a lot easier to use the resizing during upload settings that RobertB posted an image of above.
I had to buy a larger tube of thermal paste in order to heatsink the copper cooling coil to the flashlight bosy.
The top and bottom of the coil is glued with thermal epoxy to keep it from moving.
I decided to not glue the entire coil because it would make it impossible to remove if it needed to be replaced for any reason.
Once the coil was in I put the rest of the electronics and cooling loop inside the light.
The final components were the reflector and front glass.
