Iphoto facebook exporter - faded images

Good news, guys! It seems the problem has already been fixed since about three days ago. Check it out, try uploading some photos using the Facebook Exporter for iPhoto and see if the images do not look faded anymore.

i have the same problem..but i think its a mac problem because when i upload the photos from a normal windows computer the photos are fine and look the same, but when i upload them with my macbook the color fades, it doesnt matter how i upload the photos, whether its with the iphoto uploader or with facebook normal uploader, my photos are desaturaded using my macbook...somebody help please??

...a normal windows computer...

What's that?

hey

The colors are fine here, only the dimensions are sub-good.
When I upload the picture with the facebook-uploader it is 720x540 pixels and 98kb
With the iPhoto uploader it is only 604x453 pixels and 53kb

Is there a way to make iPhoto use the maximum dimensions available on facebook?

it's iPhoto that strips down the quality.

Load the same 2.1MB picture to Facebook directly and then through iPhoto. Then see what picture ***** more. The picture I loaded directly to Facebook looks great, whereas the photo loaded by iPhoto is just terrible quality.

im not sure if this is the wrong place to ask this, but if fb chuck away virtually all the metadata, although it is bad for the image quality, presumably its good in terms of privacy. Im thinking specifically of the details and notes you can enter when you flip an image over in iphoto. do these get uploaded to facebook in a way that would be accessible to anyone? If I do what you did and upload then redownload an image and look at the info pane, would that show me exactly what anyone at facebook would see, in terms of metadata? thanks.

If you're concerned about privacy why are you uploading files to Facebook?\

"By posting User Content to any part of the Site, you automatically grant... an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license... to use, copy, publicly perform, publicly display ... such User Content for any purpose..."

That's from the Terms of Use for Facebook. In other words, if you upload a photo of your baby to Facebook you give them the right to sell that photo on for use in any way they want. Travel a bit an maybe find a photo of your child on baby food packaging in Korea or something.

If I do what you did and upload then redownload an image and look at the info pane, would that show me exactly what anyone at facebook would see, in terms of metadata?

No it won't tell you. Because Facebook "processes" the photos - an action that is entirely opaque to the user - you have no idea what they are doing with the file. They may strip metadata from the snap, but are they archiving it somewhere?
