naash, On the second part of your question if you go to the gallery and right click view original image does it look the same or does it clear up? I was wondering this as a while back I posted an image on one of the forums here and it was not at all clear and I noticed it as well in one or two images posted by others - rightclick:view original seemed to work ok in all cases. As I sometimes use PS to convert to jpg I was wondering if it was something I did wrong in PS or whether it was just my browser - I think that it might be a browser problem, but I'm as much in the dark as you. - TJ
