Posted pix not sharp

OC ZOOM

I just added a few photos to my galleries and noticed that they are not as sharp as the original. Previous photos that I put up were very sharp. What could have happened since the last time? All my images are very sharp and there is a big difference on the ones that I added today.:scratch

I went into AOL and changed the settings but still no improvement. Take a look at the photo http://photopix.smugmug.com/photos/185138661-M.jpg

What browser are you using please?

The shots are really nice and sharp:

I'm using the AOL browser and I don't want to change it unless it is necessary.

AOL browsers compress images, they's a setting to change it not to somewhere. Terrible for viewing online photos.

Found this

I am using AOL - why are the photos on the site blurry?

If you are using AOL and your photos appear to be fuzzy or out-of-focus, you may have a default setting turned
on that will compress the images you view online. To turn this setting off: 1) From the Menu at the top, select
Settings and then Preferences, 2) Click on Internet Properties WWW, 3) Select the Web Graphics Tab located at
the top of this window, 4) Select "Never compress graphics" and 5) Hit "OK"

I don't know why you'd be adamant about using the worst browser on the planet

Sorry to call it like it is, but even IE is better than that.

Of course, Firefox is even better and, it's free - www.mozilla.com

I did make that change and haven't noticed any difference.

Hi, it's AOL's Browser, I'm very sorry to say again.

Please use a browser that won't wreck your images - like IE7 or IE6. Or Firefox (link above).

I hope this helps, please let us know if you have any questions.
