What's going on here, and what can I do about it?
Sounds like you have compressed the image too much. What software
application do you use to edit your photographs?
No, the problem begins to appear at any reduction, and becomes more
severe the more the pic is reduced. I use Claris Home Page to edit the
dimensions.

Definitely a JPEG. There is no facility w.in Claris Home Page to change
the resizing algorithm. All I can reset is the size itself.
Another question though: When I look at the original image in Preview,
it is both the right size and the right colors. Why must it be so big
in Claris Home Page (its default size is almost full screen)? I can
always ask Andrii to send me a different version of his photo, but I
have to know what to ask for!
