   hi all,

   i have just started a new blog. i have found that image quality degrades substantially for my uploaded pictures. I can't find any kind of image quality setting anywhere.

   check this out:

   images are fuzzy and colors are all washed out.

   does anybody any suggestions?

   regards,

   hydrophyte

   You may wish to talk to wordpress.COM support. We support WordPress.ORG here (self-hosted bloggers).

   thanks, i did not even know about this distinction. it is all explained here.

   this is one more new thing on top of a mountain of other stuff that i have to do--decide on WordPress.org vs. WordPress.com. sheesh!

   well if anybody might know off-hand how to fix this for my WordPress.com hosted blog i would really appreciate any advice.

   jriggs, if you saw my pictures next to the originals the difference would be clear. i have viewed in a few different browsers. the problem is definately on the hosting end.

   regards,

   it seems there isn't much on the WordPress.com forum.

   a search for "image quality" returned the following pretty thin results:

   a query that i might come back here with is the ease or difficulty with which i might switch to WordPress.org if i find a need to do so. for right now it looks as though .com is better option.

   Sorry to butt in again, as I'm no graphics guy by any stretch, but I do have one suggestion:

   The 1st image on your site - 13-iii-09-st-ouen-i-s.jpg
   is 451x341px and is just under 100KB. What kind of quality do expect with an image this resolution?

   I suggest you compare the original file's properties to those of the online pic. I'm thinking you're going to see a discrepancy there, which would indicate re-sizing is going on somewhere.

   yes, this is exactly the problem. WordPress resizes my images at uploading, and it also lowers quality substantially.
