How come some images lose so much quality after being put on the internet. This is very annoying. Isn't it because there is a color limit set by Internet Browsers?

What file format are you saving as? "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

No. Modern browsers can display a many colors as your monitor can, and some even support color management. The reason some photographs look bad on the Internet is because they tend to be highly compressed, which drops detail and adds compression artifacts. EOS 20D w/ BG-E2 grip

It's better if you compress them with your own software, or even better, send them as attachments so no one can mess with the original. Steve
