yes that was just an example of size difference. When i resize they re-size in a % ratio but they always look distorted or blurred. There is a file type that when an image is shrunk it doesn't lose pixel information. I thought it was a TIF file but i still have the same problem. When you re-size a JPG image the file throws out pixels which it finds unnecessary. That causes a distortion. It just irritates me cos i have really crisp fine images but when i re-size them the quality is so badly damaged. I'm not gonna put up a 2000x1800 image on here cos like less than half of it is shown on the screen, well with most screen resolutions that is. Thanks anyway for the advise. Much appreciated.
