Web images look awful under Windows

[Matt Wynne]

Hi - been trying to work out why images that look fine in FM (Windows or Mac) look really bad via IWP from Windows (Firefox or IE7) but look fine from Safari or Firefox Mac

I think it's to do with the way that FM resizes images in containers but other than rezise all the images externally first in Photoshop or similar, I can't seem to do anything that fixes the images display this. Anybody any ideas? Examples below:

From Safari

From IE 7

Cheers

I've noticed this too. My only fix so far has been to take the graphics and size them to the size that I want to use in IWP. If I let IWP do any of the resizing at all the graphics have looked awful. Probaly not the answer you want to hear.

Yuck!!! thanks for bringing that to my attention.

The way i probably deal with this is to say to clients that the small version is a preview and then open a full image page with no resizing for viewing correctly.

Still its a bit of a shame.

Yeah, that's what I figured. However, i have at least found a (fairly) quick way of doing it. Resize it however you want it in Fm, then copy it into Preview (I'm on a Mac, but Photoshop or similar would do) then copy it back to the FM layout. I've used it a lot as I don't have access to the original images we used.
