    How does it look without any processing? Especially without 'sharpening'.

    I took this shot at one of My favorite sites, and in the original tiff it looks great. I have a very poor dial up connection, I suspect some noise comes in there, but, fiber optics and DSL are coming soon! Other than that I am all ears on ideas about transmitting files with mininuim quality loss. I only shoot in Tiff, breaks My heart to see the loss of quality.

    From looking at your jpeg you are using Photoshop or Photoshop LE to do the conversion since "Photoshop 3.0" is embedded in the jpeg. So I am sure you can get much much better quality without making the file larger. Somewhere you have a large amount of sharpening (unsharp mask) turned on and it is ruining your conversion.

    It might not be from post processing. The C2500L (I have one of these too) oversharpens by default. You want to turn it off.

    Noise
    I used Serif Photo Plus 5.5 . I have a couple of other programs in the box.I'm going to play around with different processes and send the results to myself until I get the best results. On the C2500, I have it on the "soft" setting. Got an adapter ring in the mail, and can now use my filters and lenses on the C2500, so I am going to be getting some different input there. The weather here is heading to the pits, I may have to sit inside and take pictures of My cat for a while. That noise has got to go away.

    Another shot
    I found this in the file, just diddled the saturation and lightness a bit. It seems to transmit better.
