Been a while since I used gimp so there may be something new I'm missing. If you have any advice, I'd much appreciate the help Two things to check: 1) download your image from the web site (right-click, save image...) and compare it with the one you uploaded: same type (not a PNG turned into a JPG...)? same file size (otherwise it has been recompressed), same image size? 2) check that the image in the web page is exactly the size you set in Gimp (make a screen shot, import in Gimp, and put your original on it as a new layer and see of they can be made to overlap exactly). If the image is set to a different size by HTML directives, your browser will rescale it on the fly and this may not be pretty. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

If the xcf looks good, and the png looks good, then the problem is with something other than GIMP I think? Maybe try a different image hosting service or check that the forum doesn’t do something funky. On Thu, Nov 29, 2018 at 1:11 PM julietmolz wrote: > Hey all.
