I finally got a decent color camera for my lab, and would like to share some images here. I can't find any forum guidelines for the images- specifically, what's the allowed filesize?
The purpose of setting a file size limit for sharing lab photos is to ensure that the photos can be easily shared and accessed by others without taking up too much storage space or causing issues with slow download speeds.
The typical file size limit for sharing lab photos can vary, but it is generally recommended to keep the file size under 10 MB. This allows for easy sharing and downloading, while still maintaining good image quality.
Yes, you can compress your lab photos to reduce the file size. This can be done using photo editing software or online compression tools. However, be sure to not compress the photos too much as it can result in loss of image quality.
JPEG is generally the most commonly used file type for sharing lab photos. It offers a good balance between image quality and file size. However, if you need to preserve the highest quality of your photos, you may want to consider using TIFF or RAW file formats.
You can check the file size of your lab photos by right-clicking on the photo and selecting "Properties" (for Windows) or "Get Info" (for Mac). This will display the file size in bytes, which you can convert to MB or KB if needed.
