Edit, and then go to the Advanced Editor. They changed it recently and added about two levels of complexity.

Hi Grant,

I have hundreds of photos in Photobucket. However I have difficulty using them because of serious lagging. They resize your pictures automatically and compromise the quality. I don't know if its just me or this happens to you too?

Have you seen any of my work? The quality of the photo is just one factor in my mediocre painting!

For your pics, because your painting is so much more advanced I would hazard a guess you would notice. I'm just not.

Pbucket is handy for me, but the pics do lose quality.

You can set which quality you want in photobucket. Most of my pics are in the 100-200 kb size span, but I've still set PB to have 1 MB as the upper limit. I don't think you lose that much quality above that.

Did not know that - thanks mrtn!

Trying to find it now it was a bit complicated, so here's a short guide through the jungle*...

Click your user name in the top right corner. Choose Account Settings.
Then click Album Settings.
Then View Upload Options.
There I've chosen Best possible quality (while staying 1mb or less). If you don't know what you're doing, or shrinking the photos beforehand (which I do in Photoshop), then it's probably best to do as recommended and pick the 1024x768 (recommended) option.


*You don't mind pygmy guides, do you?

Hi Grant,

No sir, Please kindly share the link of your projects with me. It would be a pleasure to check it out.

As for Photobucket, I gave up on them and host my own website. I got frustrated with the lagging and reduction of picture quality. IMHO model pictures are the record of what I have wasted my youth on, so I try to make the printable for the future just in case I need it.

Is that what is going on? I thought it was my camera skills. I don't really have a problem with Photobucket lagging, but it seems I lose a little detail after they are up loaded.
