Freeway image help please

[Lizzy7]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with my website as the images on it just aren't sharp, clearly they are losing detail when compressed but I was wondering if anyone would have any ideas how to get around it.

The site is done in Freeway Pro for the mac and the images are saved as PSDs at the same size that they appear online (400x286 at 72dpi)

Freeway then compresses them to jpegs and they look rubbish.

We're obviously doing something wrong.....any ideas anyone?

Many thanks, Lizzy

A link to your website might help us see what the problem is.

I've put the link to this page as it's quite obvious on this pic.

Thanks, Lizzy

Well I've never heard of Freeway, and don't use a Mac.... but what the heck, I'll comment anyway :)

Fundamentally, you want any image displayed on the web to be an image YOU made, not an image processed through some tool that does who-knows-what to it. So is there a way to give Freeway a jpeg image rather than a PSD, and to tell it not to muck with the file at all?

That was my first thought when I read your post as well. Try doing that and see if you get better results.

Also have a look to see if it's optimizing your images at all. I know my gallery has an option to reduce the quality to lower file sizes, but I just leave it at 100%.
