After some more research I discovered that Smugmug applies sharpening after resizing. In fact you can set the various sharpening options in the configuration. It seems like a good idea to me. Zenfolio should consider adding such an option too, or should consider improving the resizing algorithm to maintain sharpness (Photoshop resizing gives good ...

The roof resized in photoshop, to a size comparable to the examples in my original message, looks pretty sharp: BTW, this is a tiny detail of the original roof, at 100% size (1:1).

Ops, sorry for the "private" flickr image. I changed it so now you should be able to open it. Let me know what you think.  

I also see sharpness differences between resizing done by SmugSmug and the resizing done by Zenfolio. To me the resizing done my SmugSmug looks a bit sharper than the resizing provided by Zenfolio (I am mostly looking at details of the roof in this particular photo). Also, to me resizing done of Flickr looks substantially better than both Zenfolio ...

Zenfolio resizes images on the fly, so depending on the size of the browser you'll get different image sizes. I picked a size of the browser that was as close as possible as the Flickr's medium format. The difference is not only noticable in the side-to-side comparison that I created (which I was very careful to do in a completely ...

When I look at the resized images displayed on my Zenfolio and compare it with the same images resized using Photoshop (or even Flickr) the quality just doesn't match up. For some reason the images displayed in Zenfolio appear softer and overall less appealing. It seems to me that Zenfolio either compressed the images too much, or has a poor ...

Agreed, that's why I suggested this as an option in the arsenal, not the default. I could decide to not tell the customers exactly what the discount is. I could choose, for example, to say that the coupon is "between X and Y% discount" (X and Y could be calculated and suggested by the system automatically), or that the coupon ...

I agree. Just a note I'd like to add. The main problem to me is that it is not immediately obvious how to choose the correct percentage for a "safe" coupon. Sorry if this is obvious, but let me give an example: Let's say that my price formula is: BASE  + 50% of BASE + $5. If the base price for an order is $100, the final ...

When creating a coupon I noticed this message: "Note: If the discount value applied falls below the base cost of the order, you will be responsible for paying the difference between the base cost and the actual amount collected. Your account balance and credit card may be charged as a result." Zenfolio ...

My new favorite is a long exposure photograph of fall trees taken at night with a back illumination of football field reflectors. When I took it, I could barely see the trees. http://www.pasqualis.com/landscape/h280c6bb6#h280c6bb6
