Saving as jpeg (TIFFs no better).....All I am trying to do is save a decent full height image of say, one standing female, no background, so I can use it with other applications.

The jpeg image I get is foggy, jagged edge, which seriously deteriorates in close-up when opened with any imaging program.

A head only close-up in DS will save at approx 137kb and is pretty good and sharp, albeit slightly rough around the edges (which I can get rid of with pShop) Image size is approx 519 x 562 pixels......(full height person similar 572 x 572)
