Strangely enough, these critically sharp pictures are looking soft
and way too large on the forum!

They are the victim of automatic resizing by forum software.

Upload files that are slightly larger than required, say 1600 x 1200 pix, and they should look fine.  Linked images might be impacted by the site delivering them.

Images with bright colours and in colour spaces not sRGB can become flat and dull on web pages. Thus forcing the image to sRGB before uploading can be helpful.

I looked into one of the files and the pixel size was 1050 x 1400. Thus the image *should* fill a normal web page. Perhaps dropping the dpi setting or use "save for Web" will help? The image here is set to 300 dpi, it was 72 originally.

As to being "critically sharp", that is always tricky to ascertain on small-sized web images. I added a touch of sharpening to make the image display more advantageous. This is a matter of taste more than an exact science for web pages (entirely different from pre-press and printing work).

Very kind of you Birna!

I tried 1600 as you suggested — went even bigger! So I change to 800/72 now.

I tried to control the paragraphs spacing at the bottom and when I saved it said
"post left empty"???????

I have exhausted my patience fiddling with that for this morning!

Thanks again and have a good day…

I surmise the problem actually occurs from the server on which images are stored on the way to the NG server. Try uploading files from your computer instead. Then you are in full control.

Dpi 72 is a relic of the past.

No chance there, I always did and will link pictures to my website.
I am new here so I still have plenty to discover and get used to.

Other threads I posted recently here did not make such problems!

The challenge was not in the mix though, Armando!
Thanks!
