One thing, however: the difference only became obvious when viewing a file on the web,

either through a site, flash or otherwise, a forum. or just plain with a browser, not when viewing

it with any of the processing software applications. Using the above method fixed that for

me. And maybe I am just a nitpicker .

Well, that is at least strange ... because this means to make this effect visible another

step of resizing (by the browser or by flash) is eventually required. Did it make a difference

which browser you used?



For a test, I just displayed an image containing my daughters hair with ie8, with firefox and

with irfanview ... the browsers display this image absolutely awful ... the hair contains a

horrible amount of stair-like artefacts ... the display by irfanview is flawless. Now, if I resize this

image with irfanview to a size that can be displayed by the browsers without additional resizing, the

display by the browser is also flawless. ... My conclusion would be ... your attempt to resize eventuelly

left you with an image that was still too large (and therefore required additional resizing by

the browser).



Just a thought...Rainer
