Max IG resolution in 4x5 is actually 1350px on the vertical size, and 1080px on horizontal; if you post 2000px on long side, IG is going to resize it, and will look like crap. So I post 1350px on long side for feed post, and 1920px on vertical side for the stories, doing this there's no resize and no quality loss

Nathan, I think you could get ever so slightly sharper images.

You first resize from capture one to 2000 pixels height, then move it to photoshop and then resize it again to something like 1950 or so (to get that white border). That means you have two resizes. Why not resize it initially to 1950 and then have photoshop canvas to 2000 pixels. That would save you one resize operation and make the picture ever so slightly sharper.

Good stuff.. thank you. And the new camera angle is great! Not sure why but I enjoy seeing how different people use little organizational things and it makes for a non-distracting background.

Ahh just caught this set on instagram! Thank you

[tickzeromediaproduction]

Thank you Nathan for the great tip, anyway there is a missing step I think, which are the export settings from Photoshop... Thank you for all your precious tutorials...

[retropixer]

I noticed the photo was in AdobeRGB. I always thought for web exports, we needed use sRGB. What is your guldance there? Or, did it get converted somewhere along the process that wasn’t obvious in the video?

[filibertkraxner]

Thanks for making this little tutorial! I have a very similar workflow (with 2160 on the long side, 2 x the Insta 1080 resolution for no particular reason), and the sharpness still comes up pretty crap every now and then. I'll try that 12% sharpen with my next post!.

Proves that you take great images in the first place.

[angquochuy]

what app that u are using to crop in this video ?

[billrcarter]

Hi really enjoy the vids. My question is do you use Mac or a Windows computer? And reason for computer choice. Could be a good upcoming video. Thank you in advance.

[rfish]

Cool tip! Will def try! Any suggestions how you would do something like this if you use planning software like Later?

[smellgoodphotography]

What if you were using Lightroom to make it sharpen and IG fit? What would be the difference??

[murthy_pvrs]

Thanks. What if you were to use Capture One only for sizing and sharpening for Instagram?

[FrankP]

Nathan...a super off topic question..
what is your workbench that you have in your studio?!I want to buy something...identical haha 😄
Thanks in advance also for you effort in your tutorials! Love it!!

[chbrownie]

Couldn't you have done all of this in C1?

[stkuj]

Nathan... why do you still use your phone to post to IG? I just post directly from m desktop. It's so much easier.

I been wondering about this for years now but why do cameras take images in 3:4 and Instagram wants 4:5. I had to ruin so many of my images because of that BS.
And I don't think the white borders is a nice looking solution. I guess now that Instagram is going away from supporting images it won't matter anymore soon since nobody will see my images.
