Uploading to Facebook

What do you guys find is the best way to upload images to Facebook?
Been trying to get the largest image resolution uploaded but they always end up losing its sharpness. Not sure if this is due to Facebook compression or my export method.. or maybe both.

This is what I do straight from Photoshop:

Flatten --> Resize with longest side to 1400 w/ Bicubic Sharpening --> Save for Web --> JPG @ 100% Bicubic

Its so frustrating!

EDIT: After about 2 hours of tinkering I think I found the optimal settings to be the following method:
Export from LR4 instead --> Export @ 1900px long side w/ sharpening for screen (standard)

make sure you do hi res!

I only ever post low res images ANYWHERE on the net.
The higher the res, the better it will look if someone decides they want to steal it, print it or do whatever they like with it.
Anything you put on the interwebs can be stolen, watermarked or not.
If it's only for facebook, 99.9% of people won't know the difference if it's high res or low res and probably won't care either..

So you make them look ****ty so you feel no one cares enough to steal them. Brilliant!

Facebook always destroys image quality. There is an option for "high quality" photos that you can check, that makes it a little better. Depending on what you want, you're better of posting a link to your website or e.g. to a google+ album.

I use picbackman app to upload photos and videos to facebook. It supports uploading in bulk also.

Personally I export 2048 px on the long edge at 96DPI, Q80 from Lightroom. I don't worry about the quality massively as they are not there to be pixel peeping perfect. They are there to be shared and consumed by social media.

I always uploads high quality (size wise) at the maximum resolution facebooks accepts so that when people download them they also get that resolution. I want them to be shared.

Haha this threads given me a good laugh.

It's completely correct though.

Your goal is to convey the beautify of your image in a ****ty stripped down example of your work.
