ok ignore the image, my brother calls me a foid as a joke and I said we’re gonna get these matching shirts 😭
BUT how is the text on the shirt on the image I downloaded (this) but NOT on the thumbnail when I go to send it to my brother?
I haven’t seen this happen to any other photo I’ve ever downloaded and I’ve uploaded a lot of shitposts on my phone (I have over 300 posts just on Lemmy)
the file said it was just a standard .jpg
Such files with the .jpg extension are known as Progressive JPEG (progressively higher resolution copies of the image). Not to be confused with progressive scan video, as opposed to interlaced like NTSC. In turn, that should not be confused with Adam7 interlaced PNGs (which, ironically, accomplish the same goal as Progressive JPEG).
It’s possible but unlikely that the editing program would just copy the original low-res copies. Maybe a thumbnail cache needs to be rebuilt?
