Hello Daniel; thank you for the comment. While the point about
dithering may be valid different issue though; one of style/technical
choices; rather than of JPEG compression. Would you be able to file it
as a new, separate issue, if you'd still like to follow it up?
** Changed in:
Marking as Fixed, as the core issue of size restrictions leading to
high-compression is hopefully resolved.

Title:
Ubuntu wallpapers are low
Technically my comment in the description about increasing image
smoothness to eliminate noise is not resolved at all.
But yeah, I'm not going to bother fighting to keep this bug open right
now.

Update:
In bug 1081702, design has mentioned that they intentionally dither the default
Ubuntu wallpaper image so that it looks OK on 6-bit LCDs (18-bit colour). I
find this disappointing because it reduces the image quality (dithering =
grainy) for everyone who has a 24-bit display.

Because we no longer have CD space limitations, the new wallpaper is
2560x1600 and compressed using a lossless format, so hopefully this
fixes two of the issues mentioned here ;-) See bug #1081702 for further
discussion.

Still seeing this in the latest quantal wallpaper. The default purple
wallpaper is grainy and looks low quality.
The others in quantal are better than precise though.
** Description changed:
Ubuntu wallpapers are low quality. They often are low resolution, have
JPEG artefacts and/or visible
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
** Changed in: ubuntu-wallpapers (Ubuntu)
Status: New = Confirmed
