hello! hopefully this isn't me rehashing an issue previously brought up, or this is somehow an intentional feature. i did a quick search to see if anyone mentioned words similar to this issue, but i see nothing.
soo i've been uploading a lot of my artwork to my profile via the photos section of the site, which is super cool! but something i noticed is that for all but one of the artworks i uploaded, any image with a transparent background lost its transparency and gained a garish black background. i was very confused as to what the correlation between images that kept transparency vs lost it was until today.
due to some renewed investment in the issue, i played around with a couple photos of mine and it seems that photos automatically ditch their transparency if either the width or height is around 2,000px or larger. 1,900x1,900px was the largest photo i could manage to upload to the site that kept its transparency. so it seems like a file dimension issue, but maybe its a file size thing and my anecdotes pointed towards something else.
if this is unintentional, i figured i should bring this up so it can possibly receive a fix or something. in the meanwhile, it won't kill me to scale my images down just enough to keep the transparency haha. if it is intentional, then, emm? iunno, i don't think it's mentioned anywhere along the photo uploading process this would happen, so a warning to keep images small would be nice.
Stay giggly!
