Photobucket v Flikr - Thoughts Please.

It has been mentioned on a few of my threads that my images are 'soft'.

The images look fine to me & i'm hoping that it is down to my method of
file resizing & image host.

I have uploaded the same image to Photobucket & Flikr to do a little
comparison.

Would appreciate your thoughts.

1. Photobucket - resized to '#8 quality & 900 on longest side'

I guess photobucket is just applying some compression to your images. The Flickr one looks perfectly sharp to me.

Thank you, my thoughts exactly after seeing them together for
camparison

Something is wrong with the mouth/cheeks on the photobucket version but the flicker version looks great Imo.

i like Flickr, but only because it's easy to put photos there from IPhoto on my macs.

It's very obvious in this comparison, even on my laptop. The photobucket ones are definitely soft in the face.

I go with flickr .

I moved from Photobucket to Flickr for the same reason. Even though I have a pro account I will just let it lapse.

WOW...I didn't know that there was a difference in the two until now....looks like I will be signing up for Flickr!!!

Ditto.

Yup photobucket sucks.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I didnt know that Photobucket was so bad these days, im sure it
hasnt always been like this.

I used to have a Pro account which has lapsed so maybe thats
the reason?
