Facebook has rolled out two new features to its photo services – high
resolution and full screen viewing. But there's a catch. The new feature
only works with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers.
Facebook's photo viewer, which was updated back in February,
will now automatically display photos in the highest resolution
possible. Users can also expand the photo viewer as full screen view. To
use full screen view features, users need to click the transparent
arrows button appearing at the top right corner of a photo. The social
networking site has also provided some more technical details behind the
update, especially about the Internet standard colour profiles. Read
the under the hood details of the improved facebook photos here.
TechCrunch in its report points out that
Facebook has "improved the sRGB color profile of photos so that colours
are more vivid and faithful without loading slower."
Just last month, Facebook had overhauled
its pop-out lightbox photo viewer by putting the image on the left and
everything else on the right. Facebook's new photo viewer, however, has
been criticised for being very identical the photo viewer on Google's
social network Google+.
