Wonderful times to be alive, spring is finally here. Sunshine, blue skies and 7 deegres. First day of the year not having to wear a jacket outside, I love it.
Yes, but you can decrease the quality/size of the photos without darkening them and without losing vivacity…
Depends on what software is being used by the forum software for reducing the image size, and what settings its using.
If a photo uploaded is, say, 3000x2000 pixels (which is not huge these days, that's approximately a 3Mb image, a modern smartphone camera creates images of approximately 12Mb), and is being reduced to 640x480 for display purposes, that's a big loss in overall image quality.
