Does anyone besides me know what a PNG is?\u00a0 It doesn&#8217;t matter, it doesn&#8217;t work, I tried it.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nothing works.\u00a0 Nothing but begging Facebook to stop compressing my files! From now on , I will post a photo on Facebook and then link to the original file that is NOT compressed.\u00a0\u00a0 To view the the compression I am talking about, Look at this file below:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The file on the left is all pixelated.\u00a0 The file on the right is not.\u00a0 To view the original that I tried to upload to facebook, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cordelephotography.com\/laurah.jpg\">click here<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 See the difference? It&#8217;s huge.\u00a0 Especially when you look at the original.<br \/>\nPlease note, this file below is zoomed in.\u00a0\u00a0 Look at the face of the groom, John.\u00a0 Totally blurry on the Facebook File.\u00a0\u00a0 Just look at their faces, it&#8217;s not a huge difference, but it&#8217;s big enough to bother me.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2665\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/cordelephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/compression.jpg\" width=\"2220\" height=\"972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cordelephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/compression.jpg 2220w, https:\/\/cordelephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/compression-300x131.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cordelephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/compression-1024x448.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2220px) 100vw, 2220px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook has been such a huge help to me in terms of sharing photos and client sessions.\u00a0 I love Facebook for being able to share photos instantly with hundred and thousands of people.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I&#8217;ve been using Facebook for what seems like, forever.
