I have multiple copies of my photos which is using too much HD. I need to thin files. In comparing photos to determine which to keep and which to trash I have discovered there are several factors to consider But just what is most important in determining over all quality.
Example:
Photo 404 #1: icon view:1368×1960, List view: 508 KB, Open in Elements: 33.33% at 19 inches x27.222. In Image Size it says 1368×1960 pixels & 72 resolution(pixels/inch) 19×27.222
Photo 404 #2: icon view:1368×1960, List view: 1.1MB, Open in Elements: 16.67% at 9.12 inches x13.067. In Image Size it says 1368×1960 pixels & 150 resolution(pixels/inch) 9.12×13.067
These particular two appear to be EXACTLY the same quality. I enlarged the smaller on to 19 inches and compared pixels which seem to be the same but note the size %’s. One is 16.67% and the other is 33.33% !
Not all photos compare equally and if not carefully examining them I could trash the better one. (If just looking at the numbers!) How do I determine which to keep? What is the most reliable indication of quality. I have hundreds of photos and really can’t check each and every one in such detail. What should I do? This is making me crazy.
Also, I Batched some files(to max .jpg or with no change) to make the icon in icon view appear with the photo (for easier sorting). This was a mistake because I have lost quality. Apparently that feature is useless. The damage done I am now trying to salvage what I can and I really need HELP
