I want to address an issue that has been brought up on the community board by Katy. I have deleted her community posts/photos because the examples of photos she has posted and the poses she has suggested Kylin do are sexually charged. Katy has been complaining on the community board about the perceived lower resolution of some of the recent photos which I will address below.

I am addressing this issue here as opposed to the community board so that everyone can hear the answer as most people do not check the community board and thus only a few would hear the explanation for Katy’s complaint…

I can tell from Katy’s questions that she does not have a photographic background because the two main reasons a photo does not appear as “high resolution” is due to low light/not sufficient lighting or if the photo was taken on a cell phone where the file size is still large but the sensor of the camera is much smaller than my professional camera that Katy is comparing the photos to, so the cell phone photos when zoomed in will be more blurry especially if it is a full body shot where it is taken at a distance. If I bring the camera closer to Kylins face and there is enough light the photo will appear much clearer and the same on the DSLR, the further away you are from the subject the more blurred the details are when you zoom in.

I have never exported photos the highest resolution possible for several reasons…(even in the past “backshot” photos of Kylin that Katy had used in the examples)

Here are my thoughts on pixel peeping and explanations for “perceived lower resolution” on some of the recent photo sets…

1. There is no need to micro “pixel peep” unless you are wanting to zoom in on private areas you should not be zooming in on. All photos are in high enough resolution and the same resolution or higher when the photos that are taken in low light or the cell phone…and why do I sometimes post photos from the cell phone?…when we shoot the same day we post and I am hours away from my desk top computer where I need to transfer any photos taken by the DSLR to process/post. We have a schedule on Patreon that we need to adhere to in order to be fair to everyone.

I think Katy also asked why I don’t transfer photos directly to my phone from the DSLR when I’m out….because it takes too long, I usually don’t have good wifi if any, and I usually have hundreds of photos on my DSLR at any given time and each photo file from the DSLR is too big/RAW that it would chew up the memory space on my phone fast.

Here are the rest of the reasons why I do not export photos at their highest resolution but never have even 2 years ago as Katy’s examples show…

2. I have taken 40,000 photos on my DSLR in less than 2 years and if I export all photos at their highest resolution I would be burning through computer memory too quickly.

3. The higher the resolution of each photo posted on Patreon the slower the photos/posts load for you when you are trying to view them especially when you need to scroll and bring up older posts. This would mean unhappy and frustrated members.

3. Patreon and word press the web hosting website we used auto reduce file sizes anyways to save on memory space and so the pages load faster.

4. Even so, the resolution of the Photos posted on Patreon are sufficient for you to enjoy. As I stated earlier there is no good that can come out of pixel peeping as there is no need to pixel peep into Kylins private areas in order to enjoy her photos.

The resolution posted here unless taken in low light or cell phone is MUCH higher/better than on any social media as they auto lower the resolution of all photos to save on memory. It doesn’t matter if you post a 50mg file it will still appear slightly blurred when zoomed in. The photos I post here are not slightly blurred UNLESS again, it is in low light or taken with the cell phone/ or the subject is far away which.

5. Wheather I posted a photo at 50MG or 1 MG most of us are on our cell phones and scroll through each photo, and we do not zoom in on every single photo we look at and cannot tell the difference in file size UNLESS you plan on posting the photo to a billboard then yes you will notice a significant difference between the file sizes but only then would it become apparent…not on a phone or computer.

6. I have the largest Mac screen size on the market and the photos do not apprear blurred unless in low light/cell phone or taken far away.

Hopefully Katy and others will have a better understanding/explanation for what they are seeing. Feel free to chime in on this discussion. I will address any questions you may have so that we can put this issue to rest and can focus on what is coming up for February…hints coming this week! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have deleted the $5 membership as there was VERY FEW members in the Thank you tier.

Oooooookayyy. So there is a community board????? Whattttt?????? 🤔 Pixel peeping???🤷‍♂️ This is all brand new 2 me. Peeping has such a tone that is..... ummmmm. Whatever soooo I'll rename it "pixel peppering" 🌶 !! there you heard here first folks and those whom identify as 😇🤡😻😼🙊🙉🙋🧏‍♀️🙎‍♀️💁‍♂️👨‍🍳🧑‍🔧👩‍🔧👩‍🍳 😎when it comes to Kylins work I usually open the app every Friday and catch up. Its literally the best way to start my weekend. So if you post DLSR super fragilistic extra super doshious shots all day , then great. Orrrr. Order--....if they they are iPhone or Iphoney off brand shots it won't matter to me. I'll be here always supporting and learning new things about pixel peppering 🌶 . Hahah 😛🤪🙃🙃🙃 Haha in truth who has time to zoom? 🔳 I think this is all you would see if you zoom too much. I don't see the point in looking at squares on a screen I mean I'm square enough in a mirror so why look at squares on a phone screen? 🤠🙊🙀🖖 As a professional photographer-Viewer I enjoy all your random shots, you fun shots, goofy shots( I love the goofy most), pro shots etc and so on and so on. Dorks like me are your fans and we accept you as you are when you where ever yobeing. At all times every time ⏲ 💯 I wish for 2 things always as I scroll More #thepose shots and what you cook and lastly what you bought to eat. Wait that's 3 things. ..and a fourth I enjoyed that day you went to a pest store shopping. It was fun to watch you discover pet toys and pet bling bling. I laugh and even cringe when you cook. 🤣 Why?? Cause I wanna push you aside and fry up those eggs and add some flavors. I'm a kitchen bully you see! Okay off to the wizard of OZ to help me find this mysterious AND mythical community board. 🤴👸🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

I would've never even known there was a change or difference in resolution. I always thought the pics look great and high quality.

As a graphic artist, custom print shop worker, Resolution is required for large size blown up images not regular photos. If your general resolution is 1920 x1920 that is high quality and very good for phone or web based imagery. Now say if Kylin was on a printed window cling or billboard then resolution would need to be much higher to keep the pixelization to a minimum due to the large size of the image. I find nothing wrong with any of your images posted anywhere. Thank you for taking the time to explain your quality standards and post quality.

2 more cents added to my noontime post i hit the delete button while exiting my car. Most creators put their iphone down somehere on a kitchen table and call it a day. The effort is only displayed here at KalaniVille. Jane cares and it shows. I know nothing about digital photos. In the 90s i owned a pure traditional 35 mm Minolta i bought at a garage sale. It was so great turning to that camera. This was in the days of Kodaks disposable cameras, remember you had to wind them . At some point it was impossible to find Iso 100 speed film, because no one developed it anymore Now Kylin I want you to know you that I will support you financially regardless of how you present yourself. Product endorsements, shoe sales 😁, whatever it takes . Charge $200 a month. Dont care i am in until you retire from modeling, or I kick the bucket.

I read the post, and had an instant urge to bang my head on my desk. I’m a photographer. Yes, I earn my living in the wacky world of commercial photography. Supporting other artists is something I consider an obligation. (It might be because my stylist knows where to hide my body if I don’t play nice) While high resolution and low noise are baseline standards for commercial work, I can’t think of a good reason why anyone needs to see individual eyelashes in Kylin’s photos. People can either support and cheer for a 16 year old aspiring model, or they can get out of the way. Neither option requires delivery of commercially viable photos via Patreon. A standard billboard viewed from 50ft away is typically printed around 11 dpi. Posters are in the 100-120 dpi range. While the photos are captured at a much higher resolution, the final output (billboard, poster, magazine page, screen image, etc) is determined by the average viewing distance. Printing or displaying images at a resolution higher than what is needed just burns through resources and time. *rant complete*

I've never had an issue with the resolution of any of the photos you've posted on here. I view them on the Patreon app on my phone and they've always looked great. I appreciate your explanation on the technical aspects of why one photo may be at a slightly lower resolution than another but that's hardly noticeable to me. Keep up the good work both of you! 😊

Good Luck Jo

At the end of the day to me it's about respect and complaining that you can't zoom in close enough to count Kylin's pores isn't showing respect. Unrelated, honestly, I'm broke so until I start getting paid for my work again this will be my last month. I hope to return to support Kylin again soon. The lives, almost lives and so on have given me something to smile about in hard times.

The pics posted here are always Amazing always tasteful always high quality! How can anyone complain 🤷‍♀️ l love all the content. I love both of you. I’m here to be a part of your life a part of your family to support my best friend. The pictures are a bonus. It doesn’t matter if they are from your phone or camera they are all AMAZING ❤️🥰😘 love you

÷#$% Katy never had issues with any photos,yall do your best that's all that matters,people don't like it unsub

Good morning Mom Jane! There’s a lot going on behind the scenes we don’t think about🤔 Personally I have no issues with the photos. I always use one of two for phone wallpapers and pc backgrounds. I have 2k 27inch monitors so highest resolution images always are my preference. All the photos I’ve always chosen have been perfectly high res for me😇

Good morning Adan! Your comments and seeing your cute profile photo always brings a smile to my face! Your always kind and low key and I love this about you! ❤️

Good morning Mat! I absolutely LOVE your explanation and how well you were able to convey exactly what we are faced with as photographers. I also love knowing that you are a fellow photographer and the idea that you feel my pain. Thank you for speaking up and sharing your experiences with us! We appreciate you so much! Now I know that Mat with one T is also a fellow photographer! I love it! 🥰❤️

One thing I will never doubt is your intelligence Nick! I’ve known it from day one! ❤️

Your stuck with us too! Love you Tim! 🥰

You said everything perfectly Tim! We feel so blessed that we have you in our corner. Thank you for everything you do for us! 🙏🏻❤️

Words cannot describe the love we have for you Sven! ❤️❤️❤️

Good morning David! I equally appreciate your positivity and loving support! I will heed your advice. Thank you! ❤️

Good morning Tony! I appreciate your comments and I do know that you never mean any harm. I have enjoyed getting to know you and appreciate you! 🥰

You learn something new everyday, till today I hadn’t heard of the concept “pixel peeping”. Anyways, I’m not a professional photographer so I can’t speak much of the subject but I think all the pictures here are incredible and I appreciate all the work you put into them Jane. xoxo ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oh man preaching to the choir! And I'm only a (very) amateur hobby photographer (often pointed at the stars rather than people) Fair to say "Katy" couldn't have been more obvious that their concern for image resolution was far from unquestionable. I lost it at "why don't you transfer files from your DSLR to your phone" 😂 Really?!? Never mind the massive pain of shifting files across devices with cables/adapters/prayers to the tech gods, let alone files that even as JPG's can be as large as 15mb each. You can forget about Bluetooth as well, you'd be home before those transfers are complete. Secondly, if you're shooting on a DSLR you will want the proper environment to review the shoot, select the shots you want to use, correct the colour and lighting, and perform any possible edits and touch ups. Why else would you go to the effort of shooting with proper equipment? I view Patreon on both my phone with the app and on my desktop with a 24" dell monitor, and the quality of the photography has always been faultless. It obvious to me that when you use your phone it's either for some BTS or slice of life snaps, or as a teaser for what's to come. Anyway, suspicious intent aside, resolution is not the be all and end all of photography. Someone can have all the gear and no idea, and take garbage photos, and someone can take far superior photos on a point & shoot because they understand the fundamentals of composition and lighting. And there's no doubting your abilities because you've taken some amazing shots of Kylin (that one where she's looking over the road map, with the sun peeking over her shoulder and rays of light break into the foreground... I'll always remember that one) Anyway I've ranted enough 😅 Y'all do amazing work, often above and beyond, and it's immensely appreciated.

As you know I completely understand the differences in clarity and the situations you have mentioned, Always will be supporting you guys ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Part 2 Now Kylin I want you to know that I will support you financially regardless of how you present yourself. Product endorsements, shoe sales 😁, whatever it takes . Charge $200 a month. Dont care, I am in until you retire from modeling, or I kick the bucket.

Katy not here for the right reasons, and HE, is not an art buff. HE is out to destroy Kylin's reputation. It is a sham . I know the difference between BB, a class act, and someone else, Katy, trying to demean women, young ladies. No woman, young or old, needs to explain their clothing. Men are not allowed to drool over these images, let alone under the false pretense of maximizing resolution. Jane nailed him, his intent is to zoom in, rip content. I want to share thoughts at the moment with a couple of other patrons. Compliment as needed, but not whistle (like a construction crew at a woman on a sidewalk). I have room for improvement, and apologize if I ever appear to be that way. I would trade all the photos, for just even an audio podcast of Kylin's day. I want her to succeed. Its a tough line for Jane to tow, that balance. Kylin is weathering these social media attacks, and with great fortitude, I might add. I pose it as how would I want my little sister treated.

I've been here for almost 3 years now, and I've never seen a bad picture of Kylin. Anyone who has taken a picture on his/her cellphone should now that the quality of a picture is not always the same as a DSLR camera. And anyone who zooms in on Kylin's private parts is here for the wrong reasons 🤬 The only thing I sometimes zoom in on is her beautiful smile and her beautiful eyes 🥰 Even after all this time I still don't get some people 🙄 There is no other page that provides THIS much content and so close to it's followers!! For some it's just never enough! Just keep up the good work Kylin and Jane!!!! Love you ladies 😘💖💖

Haters will hate... I appreciate your refreshingly positive outlook on life! Consider ignoring such folks...

Jane, I mentioned the image size in a previous post, in what I meant to be a llight hearted way, as the resolution etc does change sometimes from one post to another. However, thanks for the clarification of the reasons behind this. You guys are doing a great job with great style and imagination and the number of photos and videos is tremendous, which I'm sure everybody appreciates - and there's nothing wrong with getting a bit spiky sometimes and keeping everyone in line - this account is 'so good'.

Nice words my friend! Click on to kylins page and you should see 3 things. Overview, posts, and community. Community is the community board. ♥️

Jane, you know you have the absolute support of the most active members here. We love you both and we’ll back your decisions 100%. I don’t actually know how to get to the community page on the app, but I’ll try to figure it out and see if I can be more active there to promote a more Kalani-focused atmosphere! (Update, I somehow never realized there’s a “Community” tab right there on Kylin’s page, 🙄, I’m blind haha)

Yes of course Chris! Thank you as well! ❤️

Wow, now THAT’S a response! Thanks Mama Jane!

We love you too Riley! You have been with us from the beginning and we appreciate you! ❤️

Completely agree and understand 💯. It is a hard job but some people need to understand and have compassion and love especially in this family! Keep up the hard work your loyal fan will always be here since day 1 and till the end of time. Love you and don’t forget. I will always have your back ❤️❤️❤️
