> [@pirite](#): > > [flickr.com](http://flickr.com) > go make an account. you have an upload limit but you don’t lose quality and there’s no need to compress. :word: I have never had any issues with that. Flickr, photobucket, imageshack ext. and my panorama shots are usually 20+mb files even in JPG form. ---

You have an image canvas size limit on Flickr unless you pay to upgrade to pro. ---

> [@eMKay](#): > > I still need to compress them to upload them, as it takes a lot longer if you don’t. HaHa IDK what kind of crazy files are coming off that XTI, but I shoot in RAW and full res. (4288x2663) JPG conversion in LR takes MABYE 3-4 MB off the file. I still end up uploading 10-15 MB files every time, and it doesn’t take that long maybe a minute per file, if that. Just for comparison 😉 ---

There is, because I’m on it. It compresses your original down to 1024 x 683, you can only view the original uncompressed picture with pro. > [@IanK](#): > > Really ? its been a while. But i dont recall ever getting hung up on that before I went with the pro account. They may have changed it, I really do need to get off my ass and upgrade to pro though. ---

I believe its “access to the original file” You can get the large size but not the original, not that it really matters, as you would certainly not be posting that anywhere. ---
