darien_hewett Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I've read a little about recompressing images and I thought that was a problem that I was having in this image http://www.photo.net/photo/3023874 The diagonal braces have ALOT of jaggies on them and in http://www.photo.net/photo/3018230 the diagonal grass blades look jaggie. I've tried several uploads at different compression levels but I kept getting jaggies! Them I looked at this same pictures using my secondary browser Mozilla and BAM it looks like the original! Is there a problem with the way that "Internet Explorer" displays photos to everyone or is there a problem in the way that I'm processing my images? It seems like most of the photos look better in "Mozilla"... I'm not bashing IE just wondering whats up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donald_l_fackler_jr Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I have IE6 and looked at both pictures in small and large formats and don't see any jagged edges or pixilation of any kind. Seems to me it would have to be a different reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markci Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Do you have AOL by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darien_hewett Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 Thanks for the feedback, I don't have AOL but based off the answers I've gotten back it MUST be something on my end. Kind of strange, but the pictures in IE do look jaggie, I do this all on my Dell 9100 laptop which has a 16x9 format so it's probaly an issue with the browser streching the image somehow? Anyways thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 There's a setting somewhere in the registry (search google) for IE to stretch web page images (clever idea, huh?) if your computer is using a "high resolution" monitor. I think it's a key called UseHR somewhere but if you search google I'm sure you'll find out what it is. Change it from 1 to 0 and then IE should work fine (except its security problems, lack of css support, and general 'badness' as a web browser ;) ) Seriously, try Firefox as a primary browser. But I know what you mean about it being annoying to think that 90% of web users are seeing your photo wrongly - except they're probably not, unless they have a "high res" monitor and their computer's been set up with that registry key enabled (don't know why it would be; I don't think it is by default, but maybe a hardware manufacturer thought they were being helpful).

cenelsonfoto Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Im using Firefox. The preview - that is, the original link to the medium view - has signs of compression sickness. Understandable given the size of the large image, which is huge to be honest. The large image has no artifacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darien_hewett Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 Thanks again! My original upload was under 100k and scaled 600 x 600, after it looked so bad I uploaded the huge image to see if it made a differance. I always try to keep the images to the proper sizes so that I don't hog bandwidth :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oswegophoto Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I use Mac OS X, so I can offer another flavor: they look fine in Safari and IE 5.2 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
