- yo, tumblr has corrected the issue that occurred when they changed the photo & photoset width to 540px:
- images that are 540px no longer resize to 500px then get enlarged to 540px on the dash
- 540px images now display at 540px perfectly!!
- this goes for photosets at 2 x 268px, 3 x 177px width etc
- gap between images is now 4px not 10px
- same almost goes for gifs! 540px gifs still upscale :( but smaller does not!
- also apparently size limit may have decreased to 1.85mb
- tumblr official help page says 1.75mbs so have a play or whatever
- everything still looks crap on the upload screen cause they haven’t updated that but i imagine that will happen at some stage and they won’t tell anyone good job tumblr
- downscaling images looks infinitely better than upscaling images. so even if your 540px graphic is scaled to 500px on themes or userscripted dashs, it still looks v v good honestly
- tumblr reportedly has 30-50 million active users. 59 thousand have downloaded the ‘revert’ script to view the dash at 500px photos
