Image Quality - Uploading

ACJavascript · 01-31-2003, 12:33 AM

Hello everyone,
Heres my problem.

I make some really nice looking images, BUT when I upload them they get really fuzzy or blury if you will..

One of my graphic editors allows you two save it as a web graphic (gif format) but different (for the web) and it comes out alittle better but still fuzzy... My Question is --- Is this the server im on? or is this the ftp program i use? is there a way to prevent and stop it all together?

Thanks for anyone who wants to and can help

It is most likely not your server, but your editor. When you save as a web graphic, most top-line editors tend to 'help you out', by reducing image quality, hence reducing image file size. I you could tell me (or us) what editor you are using, I could probably help you out.

When you get photoshop up and running .....

just be sure to save with the highest quality you can muster before your file size gets too large. Photoshop is great about maintaining the integrty of your image..... They're right, you'll love it!

even if I am still running 5.5 LE

(But, hey, it does what I need it to do, and it doesn't crash my dinosaur of a computer.)

Photoshop either >5.0 or >5.5 comes with Adobe ImageReady which in your menu will show as option "Save for the web" which then spawns ImageReady. Using ImageReady you can optimize the image for the web.

Yes it does. I had a typo in that last post the < sign should have been a > sign. ImageReady started getting bundled/integrated into Photoshop starting with one of those 2 version I just can't remember which one. I've used all the versions going back to 4.0 up to the current 7.0 that I have.
