Transferring Pics Via Bluetooth - Help Needed

If you display them on the computer are they still OK?

The LG G3's screen is 1440 x 2560 pixels but the G6 is 1440 x 2880 pixels - there is probably some weird adjustment going on to display the image without major cropping or black bars (like when you play a 4:3 movie on a 16:9 screen).

There may be a setting on the program you are using to display the photographs that would cause it to display as is vs. stretching to fit.

Okay, so after going through many of them on my new phone, I realized that all of the reduced quality images are in the 10-50kb range when they were most likely 10x that originally and have generic nonsense numerical filenames (not starting "2017-7-24..." for instance). I haven't checked the sizes listed on the MBP but watching the transfer on that end, all the sizes seemed to be what I'm accustomed to, e.g. 200-500kb or larger.

Also of note, it transferred duplicates and triplicates of images. With some, there is the original, a copy of the original with "-1" added to the filename and one or two reduced resolution versions! Somehow, completely new files with completely different filenames were created during BT transfer. What a mess!

So, some images I have multiples of, some only in reduced quality and maybe some not at all. I have a new MicroSD on the way so, I'll try a hardline transfer to that (and all the documents I haven't tried yet) and see how it turns out.

This is an old MBP (2007?) so it made me wonder if BT version is at play somewhere and also USB version in not being able to connect the G6 even with LG's current Mac software.

I guess I could try a Wi-Fi connection but, it took me a while to figure it out last time and I don't remember what I did.

I got my new MicroSD today (in basically one day through Amazon ).

I checked all the files on the MBP and they are exactly what was transferred to the new phone. So, the weird stuff happened during the USB transfer from the G3 to the MBP. Unfortunately, I have already factory reset the G3.




I hadn't thought of that and you may be right. The .gifs I had also had duplicate .jpg versions so, thumbnail makes sense.

I separated all the "degraded" pics into a separate folder on the Mac and put everything else on the new MicroSD. I ended up with 748 out of a little over 1400 original photos in original size. The "degraded" folder has 1101 images in it. I take that to mean around 450 were duplicates and I essentially lost 650 photos. Some of the low-res pics are not too bad and I may keep those but, some are horrible.

The good thing: the vast majority of the "lost" photos have been uploaded to CCF! It turns out I actually do have a backup of sorts if I wanted to download all of them. If not, it's not a major loss.

My next concern will be trying to figure out how to take photos on the G6 that are as good as the G3. It can't focus as close as the G3 so it really reduces the quality when you zoom in on a pic. Eventually, I'm gonna have to get a real camera to take coin pics.
