Do you mean lossy instead of lousy? jpeg has pretty decent compression algorthims. Actually if you save high quality enough, you probably will not notice any difference in regular images. Your problem might be of couple reasons... low jpeg compression. i didn't experience this in my scanning so far. the other might be that your sky has so many shades of blue that the scanner can not scan all of the slightly different tones. or, if this is a print, then your printer head might need cleaning... > the images using a loss-less compression format, > such as TIFF, you won't have this problem.
