Im a contributor on 123 for a two years, but today i  wanted to by few photos from there. I was surprised when i got photos of 12MP  and they are only about 500kb. As i working with same camera canon 5D I know how big files are. Forget to say that i bought files in ultrahigh resolution. So if is anyone interested to buy  images from them to be printed  they will get them in quality thats is not suitable for that purpose.  :-[

When I first joined 123rf (summer of 2005) I was concerned about how much smaller the images were and e-mail them about it. They said that they strip everything (EXIF, profiles, IPTC) out and compress very slightly more to get the small size.

I asked for, and they e-mailed me, 3 of my own images that had been through their image prep process so I could compare them. Perhaps I missed something, but looking at my 20D images at full size I couldn't spot any noticeable artifacts introduced by what they do.

If the "ultra high" is upsampled, then that would be different - I was just looking at the full  size versions.
