UHQ, HQ, MQ, LQ and blah blah blah

    I'm getting pretty tired of regular HQ's getting called UHQ, MQ's getting called HQ and etc. I think we need to classify the different acronyms, do any of you guys agree?
    Perhaps I'm just an angry nerd...but plox?

    Like this post http://forum.phun.org/showpost.php?p=2573514&postcount=27
    They're labeled as UHQ (no offense Marky), but they're only like 2500x3750px

    you see...this is what I classify as a proper UHQ
    [​IMG]
    4800x6041px




    My point is, I think UHQ should be saved for the extraordinary, not the mediocre-ish.

    The classifications could look something like this:
    LQ = anything up to 420x300px
    MQ = 420x300px to 1400x1900px
    HQ = 1400x1900px to 3500x5000px
    UHQ = 3500x5000px and ABOVE

    None taken Mel! I will label them as "HQ" or "Not HQ". If I click on a thumb and the pic is twice as big as my monitor to me that is UHQ but everybody has different opinions!

    Too many pics get an HQ tag when they are large pictures but low resolution/quality also.

    That's why I don't tag my threads with HQ and UHQ. I only tag 'em when they're non-HQ for sure, to avoid controversy.

    I raised this topic in the middle of last year, and it just fizzled out!

    Surely we have enough image/computer graphics experts on phun to come up with something that would stand up to scrutiny and be acceptable! Not something arbitrary!

    Hmm, like Marky said, it's hard to tell what people describe as UHQ. If the image is twice as big as my 22" monitor, I'd say it's UHQ.

    I think we already got enough "rules" which control the titles of our threads, esp. in the celebrity forum. And I think nobody will take offense, when he clicks on a thread that reads UHQ and the images are "just" 2500x2500 :)

    Of course people should label their threads the right way, but that mostly counts for the LQ/MQ images.

    some people have different connections and will classify their pictures differently. like me, I have a shitty connection and sometimes go on dial up, so when I'm on that fucker anything over 140KB is friggin HQ to me! :p

    but hey, as some people said there are enough things to worry aboot in the titles so one more classification may be moo.

    Whay not say

    Small - Smaller images
    MQ - Largest side up to 1500
    HQ - 1500 to 3500
    UHQ - 3500+

    And if a set is really big but bad quality then it just put low res inside the post.

    But really, if i like a girls posts it wouldn't bother me to have misclassified sizes in the title.
