Hello,
So I've got about 3GB worth of pictures of Normandy during 1944, 2267 pictures in total. Most are from war correspondents and service personnel using their own cameras. They're fairly good quality considering the collection is from 2006, but there are some issues/question marks.
Firstly some are sharp, some are slightly (partially) out of focus, others have some artefacts like scratches or colour bleed. Almost all are in black and white. I've tried running some through an AI program to increase sharpness and/or reduce visual imperfections, but it doesn't work well with black and white images.
As of now they are around 3100x2400 pixels in size. To increase fidelity and lower filesize I can reduce them by 50%, so to for example 1550x1200. That makes them more consistent to look at and lowers filesize by 2/3.
Here are some example fragments:
What do you think would be better?
I also have another question, namely does the site resize pictures automatically? Based on these pictures I'm assuming it does (because that would make me resizing them pretty useless) And does this happen on-the-fly to adjust for different browsers/operating systems/screen sizes?
