Hey all!
Forgive my entry-level question, I’m just a beginner.
I’m building my first site and I’m noticing that when I preview in a browser, my jpeg images- built as graphics- show significant artifacts. The originals are high quality. What’s the secret to reproducing these files well? I’m an advanced photographer, for what it’s worth.
Thanks!!
Okay, my first search didn’t get me any results but a subsequent search suggests that I need to resize my images in Photoshop to the exact size I need and not let Freeway scale them down. Kind of a pain but the quality is very important to me. Thanks for reading!
Either create to the size you require and quality then import as a ‘pass through’. Or create images of roughly the size or a set decent size (ie. 1000px long edge @ 72dpi – good quality) and import into FW then adjust quality setting in the Inspector, my preferred method.
I found if you try and import very large files FW doesn’t like it and will give a poor result, so don’t import your file that you use to make digital prints.

Thanks seoras!
I sized the image to exactly the pixel sizes I needed and selected pass through and it looks perfect now. It’s a little more work to resize all my images for the site but the quality is important to me.
