The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

JPEGs for Web Worse With High 8meg pixel Camera than 2meg?

Asked by boltweb in Miscellaneous Web Development, Graphics

Hi,
we found an unusual problem that I hope someone might be able to throw some light on regarding photos to be use on a website; All images are in jpeg format - both for the web and the format saved by the digital cameras.

Here is the problem:
 Recently we started using an 8 meg pixel Cannon D20 Digital camera to take photos to use on our website. The photos are taken on the highest resolution of the camera. we then prepare these for the web by reducing the picture size down to 250 pixels wide and then compress them by 15% with dpi setting of 72.  The problem is that the pictures look grainy and they have a relatively large file size (around 35kb)  

Previously we used a 2 meg pixel photos from a different camera with the same above procedure and produced reasonably good quality photos with a lot less distortion. The final file sizes after processing were also small - typically  around 12 to 20Kb / image as opposed to the 35 -45 kb when the high quality source images are used.

Does anyone know why the photos look worse after processing for the web when we use a higher quality source image and also why are the file sizes larger?

Does anyone have a new protocol we may be able to use to prepare the high quality images for the web.  

Thank you.

John
