Some photo storage sites like beloved Flickr promise to store full resolution copies of your photos, but as we all know those photos can be pretty big. Apparently, Kodak floated a plan suggesting an increase in compression of customer’s photos, resulting in big disk savings.
Former employe Maya Raber raised a ruckus when she caught wind of the plan, pointing out that this was going to cause irreparable loss to the fidelity of the photos. According to her side of the story, this resulted in her being quickly shown the door. According to Kodak, well, they’re not talking.
