    Hi there,

    Thanks for your help. In terms of switching to the default them using FTP what is the best way to do this? I’m looking at a few threads but am concerned I could make things worse..

    Thanks.

    Ha, yes I guess you’re right. After paying for a new machine it would be silly to backtrack now. Just so frustrating using new technology which is adversely affecting my images.

    But thank you – I will do my research and start the hunt for a web developer who can hopefully help me.

    Looking forward to hearing more about your work with Retina when the time comes.

    Thanks!

    I see, thanks for your input.

    I’m wondering if it’s simpler to just turn off retina for now, save images for non-retina as I was doing until recently. Because to be honest I can’t really see a clear answer at present. So frustrating!

    And of course I’ll take a visit to the Mac store.

    Thanks again! Really appreciated!

    Thanks for this.

    After researching Retina-supported plugins I was under the impression that these plugins serve to detect the type of device used (retina or non-retina) and display according. Meaning there is no need for two copies of the same image?

    I realise we are getting a little off track.. but thanks for your insight.

    Okay, thanks.

    Not sure how relevant this is – but when I go back to earlier posts when I didn’t edit or upload using Retina – the images are about 600kb and sized at 600×900 (as they should be). So it seems the problem is somehow Retina related. Looks like it may be a Mac problem, as opposed to WordPress.

    Thanks so much for your help.

    On a side note about the Retina plugins – do you know if WordPress Retina supported? I feel as though my issues about image quality have been amplified since purchasing a Retina Mac (I use CS6 Photoshop with Retina for editing).

    I agree – very difficult to find the root cause. Will deactivate all now.

    Okay, what will that do to my site?

    Then I assume active them again one by one? Will deactivating plugins have an effect on already published (and thus compressed) images?

    I do pretty much as you have suggested..

    In Photobucket I select ‘links to share this photo’ and then choose ‘direct’.

    In WordPress I use the media editor, and insert from URL.

    I see what you mean about the file size registering at 682×1024. However, when I right-click save that same photo in Photobucket it comes out super crisp at 1200×1800. Obviously it’s compressing somewhere along the line, I just can’t figure out where and how!

    Hi there,

    Thanks so much for your reply.

    I appreciate that the images may not look that blurry – but as I use professional gear to shoot and edit my images, I do feel there is a noticeable difference in quality between the original file and published images.

    As you mentioned, Photobucket claim they do not compress photos, so I’m kind of at a stalemate. The images I upload are pretty big – 1200 x 1800 at 150dpi – but obviously somewhere along the way they are being compressed quite a lot.

    I will do my best to get a solution from photobucket. Thanks for your help.

    And if anyone else has any suggestions to improve quality, it would be much appreciated.
