Hi all, I've started a new chain with this letter because I think it important for some of us who may be confused with the rules regarding PUG submissions.
I started the older chain of conversation with this (condensed): <<My photo in the PUG this month is a dissapointment for me due to its noticeable pixelation. The original image, in Velvia, is an incredibly sharp, extremely "loud" photo, as probably only Velvia can do. The photo I sent was under 75k, and the length and width, were within the parameters stated on the pre-submission page. On my computer, the final, re-sized, retouched Jpeg, ready for the gallery looked great on my computer. When I view the same image on our gallery, it looks awful (relatively speaking). I tried to keep the image as close to the limit in size as allowed, in hopes of having the best quallity I can hope for shown. I tweak the image with the "save for web" command (I use Photoshop 6), until I get to the 75k size limit.>> Bob S., in his comment mentioned something important: <<I see a 600x410 picture with a size of 26K. Didn't you say that you sent 75K? Perhaps this accounts for your artifacts.>> I suppose this is going over my head when we begin to talk about jpeg compression, but is my file size is 74k when closed, and stored on the server, does it suddenly take up more space on the server when it is open? So, the actual image must be under 75k when it is open? And one last puzzlement, why isn't the code for the page written so that the thumbnails will show in both netscape and explorer?
