Any other Mac users?/image display in forum
I doubt if its worth asking PC users, as I gather images show slightly darker on their screens anyway...but who knows?
Can someone explain to me what happens to the colour and quality of photos as viewed on this site (and similar ones using vBulletin with reduced size images)? Obviously the .jpg compression process makes images look slightly washed out, but there seems to be a second stage of degradation within the browser, or possibly the site software. By that I mean that if you copy an image you have posted onto the site back off the site and view it in your normal image programme, the 2nd stage of degradation is reversed. The colour has been stored, but not displayed. This also applies to images obviously posted by PC users, they look far better copied back (and able to enlarge etc) Is this a vBulletin feature? I ask as i don't like jacking up images more than absolutely essential.
