Almost every time I upload my photos, my bloodpressure rises to alarming rates. All of them seem to filled with flash powered gizmos, overcomplicated trickery and "handy" tools. I've tried imageshack, photobucket (current one in use) and google images but none of them satisfy me completely.

Rather than having gigabyte of space, I would rather be happy with 50 megabytes without image size limits, useless appilications and three clicks away upload button.

I tried to upload wide and tall photo today, but none accepted them as is and downsized them.

Any ideas? There must be some alternative service that cares for speed, lightness and functionality without tampering/compressing my photos.. or is there?
 
I am an Imageshack fan, and imageshack does have a "do no resize" option. Never have I used it before seeing how I just use the 640x480 message board size, but might be worth a try if you cannot find anything else.
 
Make a free account with flickr. It's a very popular site for photographers of all levels. The site is very well made IMO.

www.flickr.com

Free Account:
300 MB monthly photo upload limit (15MB per photo)
2 video uploads each month (90 seconds max, 150MB per video)

You can choose to pay $25 for a 1 year sub and get unlimited photo uploads.

Hmm, I hadn't thinked of flickr. I always considered it more of an art oriented photo service rather than just random imagebank.
 
It is pretty art oriented but plenty of people use it for just random image uploading. I have two accounts with them. One for random forum stuff and another for my photography.
 
I've had a pbase.com account for a few years. They're pretty good, but it costs like $25/year or something like that.

Recently, I've been using Picassa and Picassaweb from Google, and it's amazingly simple, has 1 gigabyte of free online space and is easy to link pictures to forums.

Picassa is a nice and simple image viewer for your PC. You can browse all your photos and when you want to upload stuff, you click "hold" on all the photos you want to upload, then click "upload photos," select the size (or keep original size) and BAM they're uploaded onto the web.

So, it pairs the image viewer on your PC with images you load onto the web very nicely.

I'm gonna stop using pbase.com now.
