Viewing Problems with photos looking pixelly and rubbish in image galleries

Problems with photos looking pixelly and rubbish in image galleries



User: BELLA F. 11 years ago
Hi again... still having problems with my image galleries.
When I preview my photos in Firefox many of them look very pixelly and soft. Not all all what a photographer showcasing their work wants to display!
The photos have all been resized for the web as follows:
1000-1500 px on the longest edge
72 dpi
Jpeg quality 8-10
(it varies slightly depending on what I was using at the time I processed each particular set)

They all look absolutely fine when viewed in iphoto or photoshop.
Why do they look so rubbish when uploaded to EverWeb and how can I fix this?
Thanks

HI,

Can you show your website URL so I can take a look?

Hi again Paul! Thanks for all your support while I go through this. I may go quiet on you for a while after this as I have to go back to work full time tomorrow so won't have any time to carry on with this for a while...
Anyway I gave you my website URL before, but that's the iWeb version. The EverWeb version won't go live until it's ready!
However, I did manage to fix the problem I think, by changing the slideshow display size from 'medium' to 'original size' and the images look much better now.
But on the issue of it telling me that I"m trying to upload hi-res images, I checked and all the images that I was trying to upload were maximum 1500px on the longest side and no more than 700kb each at the absolute maximum. I have successfully added similar sized images to the image gallery before and didn't get the error message, so I don't understand why it's rejecting some and not others...

Glad to hear you have the first issue fixed.

In regards to the conversion of high resolution images that has nothing to do with the height or width or file size. Images that are higher than 150dpi will be converted because no monitors can display pictures at that resolution so it is just a waste if space with no added benefits.

Hope that clears that up. It is always recommended that pictures for display are converted to the lower, optimized resolution. Only images that you wanted someone to download for printing should be kept at the higher resolution.

hi guys.

i have the same problem as BELLA, on my site, http://yay9.com images look fine, but when clicked and enlarged, a lot of them get pixelated and jagged. also, each image is an image gallery....i know that's not an ideal thing to do but i want the images to vary in length and not be the same dimensions. i'm hoping that's not the reason the images enlarge pixelated.

if someone can help, i would SUPER appreciate it!
