I'm still a bit confused about what I'm not doing
right.
Take for instance the specifics of a picture I
might want to submit to the Gallery.
-- Original Image size: 2592 x
1944 pixels at 180dpi (14,4M)
Reduce to gallery format:
-- New Image size: 500 x375 pixels at 72 dpi
(550K)
Save to 80K:
-- JPEG compression 7/12
(medium)
For some reason, I don't find the results very
acceptable, at least when I make the comparison with -- for instance -- the
amount of details in Renate's beautiful "Mykat Watching Fall" which also weighs
only 80K. Is it because the original picture is too small or too
big? Should I do an Unsharp Mask before reducing or after reducing?
Is there a particular routine that I should use to reduce the image
size?
All in all, I can't help but feel that
there is something I'm missing...

If someone wants to steal your photo they can strip the EXIF
etc, themselves. That's a real false sense of security.
I honestly don't give much thought to that concern anymore. What can they
do with my image? I have the original RAW file if there's a dispute. I've
never had a problem with piracy in the 35 years I've been shooting for a
living.
I would be honoured to find that some kid liked my work so much that
they pretended they took the shot. Good luck to them.
Why should I let the 0.001% possible image gangster get in my way.
I would hope that I can trust my clients with proofs.

all your IPTC and EXIF info is stripped out and your image runs the risk
of falling into the orphan works category which is not worth the risk, in
my opinion. Alternatively, if your file is so huge that you
really have to strip that info out, your filename really needs to have the
standard copyright signifiers in it. -- Emily L.
