[@AnthonyGugliotta]

What Method looked the best to you? I tested a few other settings that I didn't show, but these ones seemed to be the most popular!

[@danielmaluba7862]

So the moral of this story is that instagram completely sucks! Thanks for letting me know 😂!

[@jayisdreaming]

Whoa! I love the quality of your camera and positive energy. You got yourself a subscriber! Very curious how to shoot high quality photos and the technical stuff.

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

More Photography tutorials coming soon! :)

[@user-oi2px7uv3r]

obvious and crystal clear. so helpful! 💣

[@vpocg]

You seriously got down on this video! Sub earned! 🔥🔥🔥

[@sanskarbhusal1924]

I export videos and photos with different settings and post each of them, check each of them and keep the one that feels sharper, detailed and as original as possible and delete all the other ones. I used to think I'm a maniac but, now as I saw this video I think I'm not the only one of my kind 😂 I enjoyed the video a lot and thanks for the tips. I've actually done all those methods by the way. I also agree that decreasing file size has no effect on the quality. Atleast I didn't see.

[@abdelraoufmustafa4169]

You have definitely gained yourself a new subscriber 👏🏽👌❤

[@eschertim9504]

I need this information right now!! 🤟🤟

[@minhkhuong6132]

Love your work sir! Can you do another one (Lightroom export settings) for Facebook. You are the only one i trust ! THank you sir !

[@rickytrick_]

SuperUsefull! Thanks man!

[@gusjaramill0]

thank you for the video. one question tho, do any of these settings resize a vertical o horizontal image ? thanks in advance

[@sozable]

Heard about 1440x1800, anything about this ? Because when i upload to Instagram at 1080x1350 and then download with a chrome plugin it is still the same size. When I upload double double it is crushed at 1440x1800 and not 1080 when i download it. As I seen on other photographers Instagram when I download pictures it is 1440x1800. So maybe they upload at a bigger size or they upload it at 1440x1800 because Instagram does not seem crushing these to smaller size

[@GlennUpgraded]

Are you saying you would recommend uploading 1440 x 1800?

[@kindofanmol]

​​@@GlennUpgraded same question

[@lopes143]

Instragram a while ago started allowing 1440px width photos instead of the standard 1080px, I think due to the increasing usage of QHD 1440p screens on top smartphones. I used to upload at 1080x1350 for portait (4:5) photos (just like krispy kreme) but one day I forgot to scale one photo and it ended to be uploaded at 5000x4000 (the native resolution of my camera -> crop to 4:5). That photo ended to be at 1440x1800 despite the others being at 1080x1350. I upload from my phone and heard of that not all devices support 1440px upload (maybe the ones that have 1440p screens are supported? My phone has it, so idk)

[@PitNeex]

I use the 1440x1800 method with 87 jpg quality as it is said to be almost as good as 100% Quality but produces a smaller file. Bicubic sharper on Photoshop jpg settings looks the best to me. Adding a bit of noise, to the final image used to help with banding but haven't tested it lately. Whatever the method Instagram will unfortunately remove some details 🤷‍

[@abhilekhshrestha3397]

Export using the option small 2048px option , it worked for me .

[@oven5146]

Would it work for digital arts?

[@linneapetro6998]

i love the names

[@1p1p3p4p5]

what about manually sharpening your image pre post?

[@derekmendoza]

I like the Krispy Kreme because it allows me to control the cropping of the photo to my liking, and get the fullest size photo on a phone screen.

[@PuReXtremeGaming]

Does just send it mattrr really, like if you can make an export preset may as well choose the best setting?

[@AThickBurrito]

bro just get to the point

[@pestoruccola]

literally

[@okitslolay]

wtf? the whole video is him getting to the point

[@M66X]

​@@okitslolayno he isn't. This could've been much shorter to be explained.

[@okitslolay]

@@M66X just because you don't understand his way of explaining doesn't mean he isn't cutting to the point

[@okitslolay]

@@M66X he is explaining very complex things in a precise and informative and charismatic way... if you knew what thousand of things he had to learn and figure out to give those information to you *for free* so you don't have to do all the thinking and ya'll are still not thankful?

[@AdeAngles]

What aspect ratio do you use?

[@lior2538]

So I just edit my photo and then just export it like jpg? I use Raw so still need to resize it

[@sahilkulkarni5828]

How do we achieve Method 1 on Lightroom on an iPhone?

[@christiecookmusic]

Hi Anthony. I use caput to create reels for instagram. When I upload to instagram, my cover photo always turns red. I watched this video and thought I might need to downsize the photo? I didn't really know what I was doing, but I resized it by emailing it to myself, and choosing medium (480 x 640). It still turned red. Any thoughts?

[@uno21858]

How I upload, in pc or in iphone, need to put some settings on IG if is on PC, how??

[@user-rx1yp3oy9s]

Can you give some recommendation for how to export for website upload? Obviously don't want it to be too big as it will struggle to load, and also people can save your image and have high quality image for free. Thoughts?

[@PppMmm0]

It's an absolutely different challenge: use next-gen formats where possible, different resolutions for Android/PC/Retina. The most popular CDNs can do this job in real time, for paid.

[@shmuel-sh]

so... WHAT is the best ppi and size ( px by px ) for insta post in PS

[@marckriggins2171]

Are you aware of any way to just get LRC and additional cache (1TB)? They offer LR, alone , but you can't print from LR, which makes it useless to me. I am only asking because I gather you might know something more about the parameters of their platform. Thanks for your video!! I just posted my first wildlife pic and it looks like crap. I get better results for Lunar shots, don't know why...

[@mindfuljay]

thank you for telling people that high quality button in instagram is the solution to better uploads! you gained a subscriber because I trust you lol!

[@deathlyhallowz7393]

I can't find that button doe

[@bentd9334]

The opposite is the case

[@yanglu13]

so, in resume, there is NO OPTION to get sharp clear images? i have been trying with some 3d still renders and every way i try there`s always a ugly compression in certain parts

[@chadaztig07]

Just send it! Yeahp thats my go to setting. Lmao, like none of my friends would zoom my photos to 300% and look at it as if their eyes are about to kiss their phones just so they can say oh this one is tack sharp. Hahaha... If you have your website then thats a different story.

[@drock120]

you sound like blue from rio😂😂😂❤️

[@sarimner]

Test upload from iOS av Android amd image Quality To Instagram..

[@sagars6021]

Bro always wants to play safe But appreciate the effort tho 🙏

[@JeikeiLeopoldo18]

Been using Krispy Kreme since my phone is almost full 😂 but before I just send it as well.

[@bugaomcfelcot.5807]

hi idol i hope you notice me. I hope you will help me with the camera, even if it's not used at first. I want to be a photographer like you. Because I don't have a camera to buy. Because it's expensive.

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

I just wish there was an insta on ipad.

[@Wildlife__shorts]

Method 1 is what Peter McKinnon uses, which he said in his recent video.

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

It's definitely the method to recommend!

[@LionOfKingston]

Most saying if you use the adjustments editing settings directly in the app that should help? Saving as 72. From 300

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

You mean using the Instagram Filters?

[@harveroque3434]

@@AnthonyGugliotta check the "krispy kreme settings" the Lr resolution is only 72?

[@KoneStone1]

Everything works well untill i try to upload images with lots of red lights and some editing around them. I dont know why but Instagram hates red!

[@georgeziak4483]

same for me with the reds😕

[@saucebarber5528]

what about videos though🤔

[@okitslolay]

conclusion: instagram sucks if you are an actual professional #boycott

[@klimadzu]

what happens if you go higher then 1080 x 1350?

[@mattduncan5500]

he just showed you examples in the video and explained with fine detail

[@HoratioWalls]

Ok.. I’m going with “just send it too”. 😂 I spent way too much time researching this…

[@yusufbozkurt6878]

can you help me please, seriously i couldn't get the concept. what he was doing or what should we do for more tiny better quality ? Do we need to install/ purchase Adobe lightroom in our computer and taking photos with phone and send this photos to our computer and edit in lightroom and send them back to our phone and install them to instagram or skip last step and just install them through your computer to your instagram after edit them with Lightroom ???? IF yes I'm ok with to take pictures and run your instagram on phone and install them :))

[@gurkenfisch63]

​@@yusufbozkurt6878 no you can upload your pictures directly without difficult stuff

[@PuReXtremeGaming]

​@@yusufbozkurt6878respectfully if you take photos with ur phone it'll always look as good as it can from a phone on insta

[@DimmyV]

Instagram or Facebook or Meta whatever they want to be called would not be anything without its users. I personally don’t give into algorithms and do what makes me happy and to my aesthetic. Otherwise Instagram will suffer the same fate as Facebook, its going to die eventually.

[@DimmyV]

I keep it simple and save time. Export at 100%

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

You could be right. Instagram is definitely not as popular as it used to be.

[@vernondekoker8797]

Can method 1 work for facebook

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

absolutely!

[@gabrielvilanova1193]

I tried to skip your video. just started like those ads... haha

[@Iamtongue]

this is gerald undone content...

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

Oh... you mean my idol?

[@Astrojamus]

did he just call it the jenny craig.....

[@jay_elias__]

I hate Instagram fr. They mess all my photos no matter what I do 🥲

[@lutfidandy]

So basically just dont do anything to it🙄

[@AlejandroPablo-xm6wj]

All my comments Report first

[@dryrainwetsun]

Get to the point dang

[@faizan862]

What a Waste

[@propitiated4]

So wait, the best method is...to do nothing?

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

Is this still up to date?

[@thebetergede]

Yes. Max insta resolution is 4:5 1080x1350.

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

@@thebetergede But if the image much larger, would it not just crop it? From my experience, the quality reduces quite a lot.

[@traveltolalaland]

Absolute waste of time

[@tinatinjolia9028]

omg so much talking just show me how that's it

[@amgil475]

Bro wasted 10 minuts for absolutly nothing
