Sid, I can't say what you sent, but I can see what is there. (Not to shabby a shot either... <g> ) I see a 600x410 picture with a size of 26K. Didn't you say that you sent 75K? Perhaps this accounts for your artifacts.
I sent a 600x420 picture with a size of 50K. That's what I have. It looks like I expected. Regards, Bob S. [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << I know the standard answer for this question is that the photo came to the pug that way, or had to be re-sized to fit, which created a less resolute picture. But, that doesn't apply here: The photo I sent was within the limits specified on the submission page; it was under 75k, and the length and width, though I don't remember at this moment what they were, I am sure I checked it before sending. The point is: On my computer, the final, re-sized, retouched image, now a Jpeg, ready for instant inclusion in the gallery looked great on my computer: at the 100% size, it looked great with no artifacts, no "pixelation" of the finer details. yet, when I view the exact same image on our gallery, it looks awful. Whenever I submit a photo, I try to keep the image as close to the limit in size as allowed, and do this by starting out with as high a scan as I can muster on my LS-2000 Nikon scanner, then reduce the size of the file to around 3 megs, then choose the "save for web" command (I use Photoshop 6), and try to keep the file size as high as possible, in terms of the numbering of high to low resolution settings for jpeg images, and keep reducing that number until I get to the 75k size limit. And, like I said, that final image invariably still looks quite good on my computer's monitor, which is a rather cheap thing, a 17" viewsonic. Any suggestions from photoshop experts?
