None of that loss of detail matters much once the image is scaled down to Internet-typical resolutions. Doesn't help that photographers often don't even give you access to the full resolution images, so even if you make use of one, you don't end up with something that is superior to whatever your phone-AI can fake together.
- whywhywhywhy 6y agoIn general it seems utterly bizarre the obsession with the press and users about how hyped the new iPhone camera is every year when all the photos and videos end up on Instagram that compresses everything to a smudge of jpeg/mp4 compression marks anyway. Surprised we haven't had a social network where the gimmick is just high quality photo and video that actually looks as good once it's uploaded as it did on your monitor.
- spideymans 6y agoGo back and look at Instagram or Vine posts from five to seven years ago, and compare them to today. The improvement in image and video quality is dramatic. We just don’t think the improvement in imaging is a big deal, as year-over-year improvements are minor.
