This atmosphere never get old...

Hmm, on both my retina screen on my macbook and my 4K monitor I see a lot more compression, especially in the cloud section.

I've never had this before, on the contrary, I always felt like Flickr adds a little bit of sharpness, especially on the thumbnails.
 
I suppose those are panorama's? How did you take those exactly? :)

Standard ultrawide resolution. Very nearly the same aspect ratio as mine.

Does anyone know why Flickr has been downgrading my images of late? I've noticed it on my real life photos as well, and now on my screenshots.

Flickr does not alter the original image that you upload UNLESS you were silly enough to, for some reason, upload a BMP. Because those are a terrible format for the internet and Flickr punishes you for it :p

Other than that... make sure you actually are grabbing the original and not one of its downsamples.

Custom resolution and Photomode "mod"

http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/190/?

With "PhotoMode 2inOne" is possible change weather, add fog and freeze enemies in motion with free camera without HUD.

For free cam use this

I have both mods. :p What do you mean exactly by custom resolution?

Well the originals were BMP, but I always convert them to JPEG. My photo files obviously are Raw files, and Flickr also seems to reduce the quality for some reason. It seemd to have started from when I started using my 4k resolution on my monitor. It's very weird.

via nvidia control panel. Make custom res. and after use in game. If you have 16:9 monitor do not use DSR because DSR works only with your aspect ratio.

for example : 3840x1620 is 21: 9 aspect ratio(+/-).

quick question for folks- are the DMC4SE shots i've posted earlier really blurry/compressed looking? i'm looking at them on a different comp/monitor and instead of being pretty defined/sharp like they did on the setup i took 'em on they're quite messy

gonna have to look into that if that's the case

I just recieved my Curved Ultrawide 1440p monitor, and, while I won't likely be keeping it, these look fucking glorious on it. And the fact that I could get Witcher 3 to run at that resolution with 2 fps was also awesome!

My GPU hates me or my VG248QE's and has refused to go past it's Memory "comfort zone" without crashing, but apparently the monitor might have something to do with it...

Compare this:

Seriously? Look at those clouds. It's godawful. :(
I've seen this too, but it's only in the in-page viewer (which you linked to, same one is used in 'photostream'). If you link to the direct image, i.e the png, you'll see that if you open that, the compression isn't there.

(nice shot btw)

Which one did you get and why aren't you keeping it?

The XR341CK.

It's freesync, which isn't really great for Nvidia GPUs, lol.

Also, it doesn't seem to like CRU and I have to use Nvidia to OC it to 85, which means no DSR+OC, which is meh because I can't run most games natively at a perfect 85 with the 970 anyways...

I'm coming around to it slowly, I mean it's gorgeous, and huge af, but when I first plugged it in replacing two of my three VG248QE's the first thing I noticed was the input lag and refresh rate. There's a low latency mode that made it much better but I'm not sure what I want to do. The Predator seems like a pipedream, due to cost and availability, and I also need the next wave of GPUs to come out so I can run these things the way they were meant to be run.

It's all in the air atm...



Aaaaand I would be top of the page... Here, some spoilery lWarframe shots, cause I know everyone in this thread plays that game.
