Hi DPSrs,

Wanted to get your feedback and any tips and suggestions on things to add, change or edit on my facebook photography page... please be candid with your comments since I would have shown it to my mom if i wanted to hear "Its really nice"

Overall it looks pretty good, but I'd clean up the profile picture - the photo you have of yourself is blurry and not up to par with the rest of the page.

Thanks for the feedback, will work on the profile pic...

With regards to the profile pic, I have another question the logo in red looks fine in Photoshop and when saved a as a JPEG, but when I upload it to Facebook it becomes washed out and the red is not the same tone across the logo... any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Tried changing the color profile to web colors only still got the same result.

try saving it as a .png instead. That is a file format specifically created to use for graphics on the web. better compression of solid colors and all that. Worth a shot at least.

the main problem is that facebook runs a compression algorithm on any images uploaded, so you wont really ever get the same result as what you see in PS. saving as png might help, but again, if facebook re compresses that too, then you're kinda stuck with it.

Thanks guys... tried png, same results...

I did some more research online as well, its like you said coz facebook recompresses the pics you will always end up with the same result...

Am I the only one who thinks this is actually due to the photo being blurry in the actual image itself?

Why would the rest of the graphics and text be perfect but the photo be blurry? I get sharp images on my Facebook. (both of these are the Facebook copies)

I always just decrease my image size to 150DPI in PS for any images I put on FB. That way there isn't much compression, if any at all. My images are always crisp.
