I don't see it in the RAW. It's only when I save as JPEG. I'm evaluating Bibble and Lightroom. I see the beginning of the pixelation (yellowing) at about 80% quality, 72dpi. Lightroom is putting out just a slightly better quality JPEG @ 80%, but it weighs in at 359KB as opposed to the 152KB of Bibble. If I go 100% quality on the JPEG there isn't any pixelation, just some yellowing with both. If I darken the black with "curves" then the pixelation really starts to come out. Right now the best I can do is use the auto rendering that the programs create and save as 100%, and it doesn't look too bad. I just end up with files that are around a MEG which isn't really ideal for web. :) But I think that's what I'll go with. Sorry I'm a complete newbie at this. Just thought maybe I was doing something wrong that would be obvious to someone.
