I'm participating in a survey on back pain, and they've just sent me a Christmas card with a painting by John Paine.

They are jpeg, have no idea why they are coming out that way? Must be that I use Flash, because I do not know photoshop yet. *shrug* Do you have any suggestions?
Yesterday a friend suggested I work in bitmap and only change over to jpeg at the final stage.
I hate to think how obsessed I will become when I finally *do* know photoshop.
In any case, I have turned into the mad icon maker from hell, really, you do not have to use them, I just like making them, but wanted you to see they were there.

Yeah, try avoiding JPG until you're ready to save the final version for the Web - also save a GIF version, and compare how they look. JPG is a "lossy" compression which sometimes looks fine and sometimes looks like a blurry TV signal. (You can also try turning up the quality of the JPG all the way - it won't add a whole lot of extra size to a icon-sized picture.) The main thing is to experiment and fiddle. Isn't it fun!?!?

yeah! tons of fun! Now I need to figure out where on Flash one fiddles around with the compression!
Thanks for the advice.
