Help with rejection

[John J. Poshepny]

Hi everyone I am new to RP.Net and I got a Rejection for something I never got before Photo ID 147594 was rejected from the database.
Railroad: Burlington Northern Santa Fe
Locomotive: EMD GP39E
Screener Comments:

Reason(s) for Rejection:

- Too Much Compression: Using too much JPEG compression when saving
pixelates the image.

What should I do

Save your photos at the highest quality. Also, make sure that when you process your photos for the site that they're closer to 800 x 600.

Mr. Herndon,
Thank You for your Help.

Where RPN does not have a size limit so to speak, this is the one place you can post .jpg's with out having to use a bunch, if any compression. I use the 1024 by 7XX for everything I upload. You can show your stuff to its full potential here. No need for artifacts or such . . . transitions can and should be clean and smooth with no banding. My file size is in the 500 to 850K range on most things.

Other places want them at 230K or less, for the most part. Some even smaller. But a picture that small is not a picture, IMO. It is just a resemblance of the object you pointed at.
