Gotta question here, and this is really irritating... I convert my picture from Photoshop to jpg, no compression. It looks just fine, there are no pixelations, no jars at all. The very moment I upload it here at Rosity, I get HUGE blotches like I compressed way too much... when I in fact left it in the original! Why is that? You see what I mean when you look at my last render here. (No, this is NOT a shameless plug, LOL!!!) The background is hardly recognizable now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! -Heike-

Mebbe you have your browser set to compress images? I know AOL's browser makes a hideous mess of images.

How are you saving to JPEG without compression? Normal JPEG is lossy, and I was under the impression that the new lossless JPEG format wasn't very popular. If you're on AOL, you can disable the graphics compression. It's switched on by default.

Nope, not on AOL. I usually use Thumbs 4 to convert, and that gives you the option of going 100% uncompressed or the compression ration. If IE has that thing built in, I never saw it. (mumblegrumble) And since it only happens after an upload, makes one wonder...

IE6 resizes images by default. Go to Tools..Internet options...advanced, then scroll down to the multimedia section and make sure 'enable automatic image resizing' is NOT enabled. This option causes the most problems with images that are larger than your screen resolution.

re IE6 image resizing. I'd leave it checked. You do see the images full size as they're coming in...unless it's a progressive JPG. And all you have to do is click on the icon in the lower right corner of the image and it pops back to its actual size. The resizing is not permanent. And I've never seen IE make a mess of a jpg. It is very helpful when people post images much larger than my screen (1152xwhatever). I hate to scroll images...you lose the impact. Bigger may be better but huge is silly (g) Anyway, I think the IE solution is a good one..you can have it both ways.
