A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Do you export different files for social media and printing? (alien.top)

Wondering if people send different sizes and colour formats for use on social media versus printing to their clients.

Yes. Files for social media are at a maximum of 2560px on the large side, the other ones are at the largest resolution possible.

My clients don't print, so I only supply an Instagram-friendly format. Instagram famously compresses higher resolutions, making them look worse. You get the best results if you supply the exact IG resolution (1080 x 1080 for 1:1, 1080 long edge for other formats).
