problem solved

I’d noticed lately a problem with the quality of the pictures I uploaded on my 2 photo blogs (My Photog Blog & My Naked Blog). It was as if the pictures had been re-edited. In some the contrast, brightness, etc had been altered. In others there was an almost pixelated look. Still others were grainy, much less clear.

I had thought maybe it was an issue with my new camera. Maybe the higher resolution was causing issues. But I think now I think perhaps it’s just that it became more noticeable with pictures from the new camera.

I clicked blogspot’s feedback button, wrote about the issue, and submitted it. Then a message came onscreen that said something like “We can’t respond to all the feedback we get, but we’ll try to use your feedback to improve everyone’s blogspot experience.”

So, this morning I googled the problem and found several people had blogged about it and how to fix it.

It turns out the problem is that Google+ has a default setting that automatically “improves” or “enhances” the pictures you upload. So I had to go in to Google+ and change those settings.

It’s just annoying that there would be that type of automatic setting. If I post a picture, it seems like I’d be okay with the quality without your “enhancing” it. In the case of my recent picture uploads, you made them look worse. That’s crazy.

Anyway, I went back to most of my posts from the past few weeks, deleted the pictures that were there, and re-uploaded my originals.
