Hello all,
This is a technical question about the Mozilla 1.6 web browser.

While going through the galleries here, I am finding that some images are very heavily pixelated.
It wasnt until I switched to Internet Explorer (to compare the two browsers) that I realised, it was mozilla doing this, to the images!

It also appears to be affecting only progressive images.
(I dont even know the point behind the progressive Image option for the .jpg format - maybe some could shed some light!)

Ok my question is, why is this pixellation happening, and how do I prevent it?

Ive never had a problem with this before...at least I havent seen it before

Thankyou for your help,
Ascinct

P.S - if you want links to images it is affecting I can post them (I just need to ask the artist for permission first)

I've just discovered this too. Happened to me in Netscape and Firfox(Mozilla). Not just pixelated but different parts of the image were not aligned properlly. Weird stuff. Could it be site related? I went over to 3dcommune and checked out there galleries and no such problem.

Hmmm, Thankyou for the feed back! We need more info it seems, at least i know I am not alone! Thankyou, I'll just wait and see if this is site related, before I decide to reinstall mozilla.

The progressive (scanned) jpeg format was devised when everyone was on dial-up, to allow slow connections to see an image while waiting for it to load. Now it's just a big annoyance, and people select it because they can, perhaps hoping somehow that it will help their image (it doesn't).

Ah, thankyou for the background info on the Progressive image thing! (I too thought it helped your image in some way, but I never used it - As My Moto - "If it arn't broke dont fix it!") :) Maybe Adobe should delete this feature, As what use is it to us now? and even when I was on dial-up I still couldnt see the image properly, until it was fully loaded! Then that way we wouldnt have these kinds of problems!

I've also got this problem lately with Firefox 1.0. It helps with Ctrl+F5 though.
