Thanks for this info. As per the instagram guideline the maximum resolution in which it takes a photo is 1350*1080 . I'm Confused if i should use the resolution suggested by you or the instagram's one.Which one is the best,Please reply...
I'm loving your videos Eli. Prepping an image for Instagram makes a huge difference in the final look, and it's an area I've been somewhat lacking in, so thank you!
Sir your portrait photo tutorial very nice & helpfull ,.....Sir I have one question for landscape (horizontal) photo size ??? Resolution , width & height size for Instagram.
Hey, I was a little bit confused on your first step of sharpening in photoshop. You played your action and just started painting. I have no idea of the steps you took to set up the layer layer before painting
Thank you very much for this tutorial and all the other Tutorials. But what I want to ask is, I guess that the image size has to be under 1 MB, many under 0,5 mb. I read it on a forum that instagram kompresh the image size if the image is bigger than 0,5 or 1MB. Did u have any problems on images bigger than 1 MB size? Thanks allot
thanks for this video.. very helpful, but I cant do the sharpen action because I dont know what you have done wind the layer you have created before adding the high pass??
I find the video useful but would you try to make it a bit clear especially on the steps you take on that top window of your layers... On how we can have it on our Photoshop..... If possible mentioning on where we can get it...
Hey.....do u have any suggestions for resizing a Snapchat photo to upload to Instagram/fb as a profile pic? What steps should I take without having to crop it? I don’t like the white borders either. I use this app called peachy to stretch the photo horizontally to try to get more space so I don’t have to crop it as much but, i have no idea what I’m doing. I have an app called image Resizer where u can enter ur ratios and I usually put 1080x1350 but, I’m trying to upload a profile pic for both IG and FB. Should I do it separately? There’s an option for ig where u can you link ur IG and FB together so if U upload a pic to Instagram u can also upload it to fb at the same time. So usually, I will set my fb posts to “only me” for audience so when the post gets posted on my fb from the ig post it doesn’t get double posted and I just “set photo as profile pic.” Then delete the other post. Which in turn, only has one photo on my timeline rather than 2 and then, I avoid having to deal with split comments/likes etc. (sorry if I’m not making any sense) but, idk 2x3 ratio looks like the pic doesn’t get cropped as much. It looks bigger. Either way, this has something that has confused me for soooo long. And because Snapchat photos are much more longer in size, it’s hard to resize it where it doesn’t get cropped off as much ya kno? Please help. I’m desperate. I don’t want to have to crop the pic if I don’t have to. Of course, if I have to crop it....I want to minimize as much as possible and not have the platforms downsize/compress it and have the quality come out like shit. (I’m on iOS) When u choose the ratio- 2x3 what does that equal to? It seems like when u choose that size it doesn’t crop the photo as much. But, will ig/fb allow u to upload 2x3 without compressing/cropping it? Seems like 2x3 is bigger than 4x5 but, from watching numerous videos I am under the impression that 4x5 is the best size to upload to get the most real estate. But, does that equal to 1080x1350? To get the maximum amount of photo/quality, if I am cropping through an app..does it matter if I choose the 4x5???? what is the difference between cropping the ratio to 4x5 versus resizing entering the dimension “1080x1350?” (Sorry if I’m confusing you. Clearly, I confuse myself 🤦🏻♀️ lol) Also, for the options in Lightroom you can export a photo format as “Original, JPG, TIF, DNG.” Which is the best format to pick for uploading to social media platforms?? There’s this app I just downloaded called “Remini” which allows u to get higher quality for ur photos. Not sure what I’m doing but, I tried it and it looked like it really did make the photo look like such better quality but, as far as the other questions, I would really appreciate it if u could get back to me. Sorry if I’m confusing U. I have ADHD, so I’m all over the place. I just need some clarification. Hopefully, u answer me back!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks Eli for this tutorial, I liked it. One quick question I got, because first you did only sharpening in Lightroom and then went to Photoshop. Would it be the same if you could do that sharpening in Photoshop Camera Raw and continue all the process in there?
Hi Eli, un tutorial buenísimo!! but why didn´t you set the mode to 8-Bits/Channel? I always heard about don´t export on 16-Bits for web... is it a limit only for jpg?
When I post portrait orientation photographs I've had no issues. I did have some issues with the horizontal orientation photographs. The fix for me was adjusting the pixels size to 1080px.
Hi Eli, do you have a "batch" method to do this for multiple photos? I'm having trouble taking multiple photos from lightroom to photoshop and then resizing them and making them all PNG. Thank you for any advice!
Hi eli how are you! im a huge fan of you! love love your work! i got a bit confused with this since my english is not that good, so first of all i resize the image, then i apply the sharpen action u left us and then i sharpen it again and export? or sharpen resize and then use that sharp of highpass and export? thanks i would really aprecciate it if you could help me best wishes and keep up the good work man!!
Hey Nicolas! Use the sharpen action to sharpen only areas you want to increase. Then resize your image to 2048px and use the highpass filter with overlay blend mode. :)
Hola Eli, me encanta tu trabajo aquí y en instagram. Una duda, es igual el trato de la imagen para instagram que para facebook? Muchas gracias por compartir.
I late to know this video. How about if I'm gonna post film photo on instagram (without edit). I've tried use 1080x1350 as instagram wanted. but it doesn't work. The photo getting compressed. Little help please. Thank you.
There is like a million steps. Keep the quality below 76%, make sure its no bigger than 1080, if exporting from photoshop then keep it to a 4x5 or a 1x1, if from photoshop then use the bicubic thing because you're making the image smaller, then also do a small prayer to all major and minor deities
@@EliInfante I don't quite understand your response. you post at 2040 because this is Facebook requirements? and then allow Instagram to compress? Also your cousin Francisco said he started adding grain to sharpen the image for Instagram... do you do the same? I do not understand how adding grain can sharpen an image? Thank :) You're awesome!
Hi Eli, thanks for this video, I always struggle with these two thing and now understand it well but one thing is still had question how to sharpen and export for print. Please explain that as well. Thanks again.
Select the cropping tool by pressing R button on your keyboard ... set it to 4x5 .. you can change the orientation by pressing the X on your keyboard .... Exporting... use long side 1080 ... 76 for quality

@@EliInfante for sure man. lemme know if you're ever shooting in San Diego. I'll be your voice activated light stand any time bro 😎
Sir your portrait photo tutorial very nice & helpfull ,.....Sir I have one question for landscape (horizontal) photo size ???
Resolution , width & height size for Instagram.
Hello why are you exporting with 2040px if Instagram only allow 1080? Could you explain this?
Yaaa Instagram allows only maximum 1080px....? Or any change in the resolution?
I was wondering the same. Literally the whole world, every single site, even Instagram itself is shouting to resize your pics as 1080px of width.
Some ppl export at higher res because if one day Instagram will increase the res their photos are gona look better ..maybe that’s why 🤷🏻♂️
Your tutorials and work inspire me and teach me so much. Thank you!
Thanks for watching Ricardo! :)
I don’t get why do you sharpen then resize and then sharpen again? Why not resize first and then sharp all together?
wow i can't believe how great my instagram posts are right now! Thank you very much!
You're welcome!! I'm glad it worked out for you lago :)

Thanks for the feedback! :)
I did the export exactly how you did, but the picture is still too long via iPhone so Instagram destroys the quality
Now the Instagram gives only a maximum of 1080px. Did you try with 1080px?
@@passh9558 yup but I noticed when I do that my image just gets super pixeled and loses quality
@@VisualzbyJ Try this. ruclips.net/video/RLcKRStQAeU/видео.html
for 2021 Instagram giving only maximum 1080px, right? And is there happening quality drop when using "Saving for Webs" ?
I believe so Pashan. I don't know if quality drops with saving for web.

Hi Eli, un tutorial buenísimo!! but why didn´t you set the mode to 8-Bits/Channel? I always heard about don´t export on 16-Bits for web... is it a limit only for jpg?
I'll be honest I'm now too familiar with 8 vs 16. I've heard 16 is best to prevent color mishaps.
Great work! With the large file size on your final export, does the IG compression filter not kick in? Or does the file size not matter anymore?
When I post portrait orientation photographs I've had no issues. I did have some issues with the horizontal orientation photographs. The fix for me was adjusting the pixels size to 1080px.

2048 so I can post on Instagram and Facebook.

I would guess it's your internet connection. Instagram lowers the quality of photos when the connection is low same as RUclips does with videos.
