"One thing I can suggest- alway save in a non-jpeg format until you are ready to make the copy that is going to be uploaded, as once you get the JPEG artifact you can't remove them, and the JPEG loss of image quality add up every time you save it again in that format." That is what Jim Burton told me. It may not work for your problem but it is worth a try. I have PSP and I save at 20 which seems to work very well. Marge
