Remaining

Really busy day today with ironing with My Friend Peter followed by the DIG coffee group and in the afternoon a really big adventure where we (The Boss and ME) staggered along the foreshore of Lake Hawea for what seemed miles to get this image. He had seen it on a previous walk but as the track was up on a cliff with no viable way down, the only approach was to go along the shore. It was a fair way and it was trying to rain the whole time but didn't actually succeed until the camera work was done and we were on our way back, having discovered a short cut that got us back on the official track rather than back along the shore which is stony pebbles and really hard, even for me, to walk on. It was a good thing that The Boss had his AW (all weather) camera bag and his light weight jacket. I just had my all weather curls which got seriously wet during the 30 minute walk back to Suzz.
The Boss has just made a calendar on the Blip shop. This was an interesting project and not entirely straight forward. The calendar set up and making was a breeze BUT as The Boss uploads images to Blip at 1100 px longest side (old competition habit) there was insufficient resolution to print the images on a calendar and he had to reload all the 13 images with a much bigger file to make the warning note go away which was just time consuming as they had to be re-exported out of Lightroom as a bigger file before re-uploading. So the question is what do others do?
Do you upload 1100 px images which is fast and fine for all the web functions OR
Do you upload the total file out of your camera as a JPG which can be seriously big and VERY slow to do, depending on your camera of course OR
If you are a RAW file user what size do you convert to for upload OR
Do you do something else?
This also has connotations if you want to do a Blip Book too as a full page needs more than 1100px.
AND of course if you upload full size files they are stored for you and become backups which you can recover (Full membership req).

The Boss is intending to do a book of the years Blips next year and LR4 interfaces straight into Blurb so that will probably be the path used. The calendar was very tempting though and looks very smart indeed. He is just deciding how many to get.

Clever little Scottish people these Blip folk.
