Not impressed

I could go ahead and write a review that goes over what everyone else says about the site... tons of content, lots of pretty women, etc. But the one thing that stands out as I go through the hundreds and hundreds of models is how many pictures look blurry, upscaled (as in pixelated) or otherwise distorted. I'm only interested in downloading the highest resolution pictures and it really amazes me just how many aren't worth saving. I tried to nail it down to particular photographers or shoot settings where the problem shows up but there's nothing constant to nail it down - it's just throughout the site. Touting how many megapixels your pictures are doesn't mean much to me unless they're clean and clear.

Don't get me wrong - there's still a lot of great content here. But, at the same time, it'll be a long time before I re-up here, if ever.

lk2fireone (0) I agree that MetArt has tons of content and thousands of lovely models.
Maybe there is too much content, and the average viewer starts to get bored. A psychology thing.
Very few of the videos at MetArt are worth watching or saving.
That's my opinion, in spite of how lovely the models can be. The vidoes are boring, not erotic.

The value of MetArt is as a photo site.

Maybe I'm not sophisticated enough, but I don't have any problem with the technical quality of the photos. In the main.

What sites do you find that give you satisfaction with the technical quality of the photos?

MPL Studios, Femjoy and Hegre Art offer superior softcore photography.

And how do you view the photos? On a very large monitor, or wall screen TV, or what? What makes the photos at MetArt appear blurry or distorted?

I look at photos on a laptop, or a 22" computer monitor. So I'm guessing that's why I don't have a problem with blurry or distorted photos.

A very large monitor would show the imperfections more easily, I'm guessing.

I'm basically a video person myself. But, every once in a while I'll join a picture site just for a change of pace. I agree - the videos here aren't all that.

I have a 42" LCD television as my main monitor but I'm well aware that the resolution isn't as good as an actual computer monitor. But I also have a 27" monitor and the problem, as I see it anyway, still shows up. No, not so much when I'm viewing a whole picture on either screen, but when I zoom in a bit, there are the distortions.

Thanks for the clear explanation.

I've read reports by some PU members that mention distortions in photos, and now I better understand what they were talking about. Because I always thought the photo quality was perfectly acceptable.

Using a smaller monitor, and almost never zooming in for fine details, explains the difference.

PinkPanther (0) I'm not seeing it - I'm checking out the Loxie by Antonio Clemens set, posted the other day - viewing it in the High Res selection, and while there is some "softness" to the image in the face area frequently, which I see in every site except for ATK, which is all about glaringly direct photos, I don't see blurry and distorted. Mesoti by Antonio Clemens, posted yesterday, is even sharper.

I think it's a matter of taste. In the glamour area, you're pretty much always going to see treatment of photos. Hegre is sometimes an exception. You can often see every bit of facial hair on his models at the same time that they are undeniably presented in a very glam-art mode.

Drooler (Disabled) I know what the RagingBuddhist talking about here, but I've seen the blurriness problem with HegreArt, MPL Studios, etc. etc. as well. I can't think of a site that hasn't disappointed me when there's a pic I really like and the model's face, on closer inspection, is in something of a blur.

Suffice to say that photographers and photo editors can't predict what I'm going to want, so I just try to take the good stuff and toss out the fuzzy-wuzzies that I don't want.

greg909 (0) Yes, it's true that many of met-art's sets are not very sharp at all. More specifically, they often have low depth-of-field (one part of the body is in fairly good focus while everything else is not.)

Lack of sharpness is also more apparent on this site because they offer very large images (sometimes 7000 pixels), so the softness is very apparent. There are, however, a few photographers who offer better sharpness, like Matiss. I just wish it was more consistently good across other photographers' sets. Still, most viewers just wax poetic about every set that's posted there, which makes me laugh.
