[Pro] Loss of resolution in Int Explorer

After uploading my site, the image resolution is perfect on Mac, but pixelated in Internet Explorer. I clicked the IE box in Document Setup, but my pc visitors are still reporting poor resolution on the images and generally flat color rendering. Any suggestions?

Can you post a link so we can check it out please Ron

If you use the format

http://www.freewaytalk.net/topic/page.html

Without the angle brackets if you are viewing on the web then it will be a clickable link

Yes but if you had put http:// in front it would become a clickable link

Even looking at this site on my Mac I don’t see any great quality pics - a lot of your images have been saved as gifs - which is not a suitable format for these sort of pics. Change the output in the inspector to jpeg and if you want to maximise quality change the output setting to 90-95%.

BTW you can set this as an document-wide preference in File>Document Setup>Graphics

Thank you so much for the feedback; I am an oil painter (former graphic designer) and I have never designed a website before now, which is why I choose Freeway Pro (I’m experienced in Quark and Photoshop). Certainly I will make the changes you suggest, and thank you again for the valuable information.

You should consider adding a method for the viewer to see a larger version of your pics by clicking on them.

There are a few threads here about using galleries for this. Plus a FW tutorial.

Another small point but I think you should be aware of - viewers are far more used to scrolling up and down pages rather than across. It doesn’t take much to put somebody off your site and get them leaving quickly.

Yes; I fully intend to add the ‘view larger version;’ that’s my next assignment. I just got the site to a ‘temporary’ viewable state only last week and am still a few tweaks away from being 100% complete (some of the rollovers on the Contacts page aren’t working correctly yet as well).

Regarding the horizontal scroll on the painting and illustration gallery pages, I wanted those to simulate walking through an actual gallery and viewing the works side by side. I plan to add a prominent note on those pages telling the viewer that the page scrolls horizontally. Visitors to my site will be a very specific audience and not the typical viewer (mostly professionals; gallery directors, patrons, dealers, etc.) and they will be accustomed to the horizontal scroll, as it is quite common in this industry on gallery and artist sites. Still, the note should suffice in any case, but thanks for the heads-up.

She did indeed, and said she fell in love with the culture and the charming people.

None that she’d reveal. During her university years, she spent a couple of summers in Europe with friends, traveling around on a Eurail Pass; they’d sleep on the trains at night and wake in a different country the next day (sometimes spending several days in different places). Always sounded like quite good fun to me.

Sounds like Glasgow’s ‘Clockwork Orange’ to me! The subway that circles the city - just seems like a different Country in the morning especially if you have spent the night in the company of some Glesga boys supping Buckfast - but I digress.

Digress as you will, DD. Its all rock & roll to me (read my bio). Shouldn’t we be conducting this via e-mail? Seems a bit dotty sharing with the globe.
