Tumblr: How to use high-res photos in TEXT posts?

Question

since there is no answer ins similar posts at stackoverflow, I am posting this...

When I post a TEXT post in tumblr, my images get downsized. How can I use the HI-RES of the original photo I upload?

In the template I only see this one, with no hint to photo sizes:

{block:Text}
    <section class="content">
        {block:Title}
        <h1>{Title}</h1>
        {/block:Title}
        {Body}
    </section>
{/block:Text}

Also the official documentation doesn't help there: http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/custom_themes#text-posts

See here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14710157/scale.jpg

Any ideas?

Thank you very much, rainer

That's right, but it was not answered there... Still unresolved :( – Chlorella

You can't get a higher resolution if you upload the image to Tumblr within a Text post because Tumblr resizes them to be a max of 500px wide. – Iormina

That is too bad. I move to wordpress. Thanks! – Chlorella

Answer 1

So to answer that...

Tumblr resizes images in text posts to max width of 500px. You can't change that.

I feel your pain, bro. It's 2014 and I ran into this problem, too. – Disentwine

Add {block:Posts inlineMediaWidth="1280"} as the answer below says.. it works! – Forefather

Answer 2

Use {block:Posts inlineMediaWidth="1280"} and {/block:Posts} instead of {block:Posts} and {/block:Posts}. See How to use high resolution photos in text posts in Tumblr?
