My photos look different

[scot079]

It's probably something I'm doing wrong but all of a sudden my pictures (linked from Smugmug) are all soft and nasty looking when viewed on POTN. I noticed this yesterday, where before that they looked the same as when viewed on Smugmug.

Has been some sort of change or something I need to do differently?

EDIT: Problem solved!

Looks fine to me.

POTN does not do anything to embedded photos.

Thanks for the response Pekka. These 2 threads are the ones that concern me:

Something (and I'm not pointing fingers here, it could be something on my computer) is causing my photos to be re-sized when embedded.

Using Firefox (Mac OSX) I can right click on one of the images in question and click "View Image". In a new window, all by itself, the image shows up just as I want it to, a little bigger than what's shown on POTN. The apparent re-sizing also seems to be affecting sharpness.

This has never happened before, and I'm not internet/forum/Smugmug savvy enough to figger it out:-)

OK I figured out the problem, something happened to my Firefox when it updated itself yesterday...so it's just me and other users of Firefox 3.5.5 on Mac that may be having pics automatically resized.

Now I just need to fix it :-):o

If your Firefox is automatically zooming in on photos, click View>Zoom>ensure "Zoom text only" is checked. That should solve the problem.

Good to hear you solved it.
