Post by thread:OT Web page Photos

I am wondering why some photos get blurry when uploading web pages for Internet access? I tested my web page off line and the photos included look sharp! Once I uploaded them to my Internet domain server and test the page via my browser they look terribly blurry. Any thoughts on this? Anyone? Thanks. Mario

Perhaps some of the bits became "scrambled" en route to the server... Just a thought. Andrew K. On Thu, 6 Jan 2000 16:43:21 EST "Mario I.

Or maybe someone tried to XOR 'em with something <g> Nah, could be compression that doesn't get noticed until you upload the images.

Hi Mario, Use a program like Paintshop Pro and save your Jpeg or gif files as 256 Colours, as some browsers don't do a good job, if your image file has more than 16000 colours lets say. And also some people don't have fancy video cards and have only VGA resolution when viewing webpages and it pays to cater for their needs.

Have you tried saving the image with the browser and comparing it to the original on your hard disk? If not the same, then perhaps the web server is converting images to a lower resolution to conserve bandwidth... but I've never heard of this... or perhaps it's ocurring when you publish to the ISP?

According to your email address, you are using AOL. If you are using any of AOL's programs to put your pictures on a webpage, or your webpage is on one of their servers, then I am almost certian that a program has purposefully edited your picture so it won't take up so much space. There may be settings in your program to change some parameters before putting the page up, such as Compression and Size. Other problems might be that somehow the pictures were put up incorrectly, and you haven't uploaded the better versions of them. When you update your page, the page may refer to your good pictures when it's on your hard drive, but when it's on your server it refers to the pictures on the server. Since you are on AOL, I suggest you look for help in their frequently asked questions about picture uploading. -Adam "Mario I.

Photo's look cool, but took ages to download probably because everyone on the PIClist was trying to view it at the same time! Brent Brown Electronic Design Solutions 16 English Street Hamilton, New Zealand Ph/fax: +64 7 849 0069 Mobile: 025 334 069 eMail: KILLspambrent.brownKILLspamclear.net.nz

Most common cause is that your images consume more colours than are provided by the browser you are using to view them. But I agree, cheap ISPs may decide to compress your images. > I tested my web page off line and the photos included look sharp!

Web server, yes, domain server, no. Please point at one for me to review. Send an original to me privately by electronic mail and I will compare the two images to see if your ISP has decided to modify it for you. When you test your page off-line, are you using the same browser? -- James Cameron RemoveMEquozlTakeThisOuTus.netrek.org http://quozl.us.netrek.org/
