>> You didn't mention trying different JPEG quality settings I did try playing with some of the quality settings in Gimp, forgot to mention that. It seems that I can make the image go from kind of bad to really nasty with the settings, but nothing I tried seemed to make any real improvment. I tried all sorts of combinations of smoothing and quality settings with no real gain. I admittedly have no idea what the DCT and subsampling settings actually do, but in trying different settings there, little if anything was gained. I have also made sure to use a 'fresh' image, rather than recycling the same one so as not to 'wear it out' with multiple saves. I'm starting to wonder if it's possibly a problem with my hardware, either video or monitor... maybe it looks ok to everybody but me. I'll put a jpg and a gif, both created with Gimp up on our website and if anyone wants to take a look at them and see if it's really a problem or if I just need to increase my medication. :) I'm not sure if it violates the rules to post a URL here, so if anyone wants to see a couple examples of my problem, email me directly and I'll give you the link. Thanks, gang!
