Hey i started noticing that some of my pictures look pixelated im not sure what scausing this so suddenly i have used photobucket for a while now never had this issue but then suddenly they started getting fuzzy lookin i tried it on upload geek and same thing happened.

Am i the only one seeing my pictures as fuzzy or can everyone see it? And if so can someone tell me how to fix it?

PS When i view my pictures in "My Pictures" folder they look perfectly fine its only after i upload them

I see it that way and I don't know whats wrong.......I use the old uploader for photobucket and mine are fine.

It looks Fuzzy. I upload my Photos in the POF Upload Gallery and they work Fine.

are you editing your images or something?

they have an old look. very stylish if you ask me.

Well i use Snipping tool from vista but ive always used that even in VMK and on POTCO never had this problem. And i do use the old uploader for Photobucket (much easier if you ask me)

Ah HAHA! I found the culprit someone changed the picture save from .jpg to .gif i switched it back and now pictures upload fine :D wow i can believe i spent weeks looking for a reason i finally get fed up with it and ask for help and low and behold i find the answer myself.

Mods please close issue resolved!

well well well don't you hate when that happens? lol........woohoo in before closing!

Chris, the problem is they are being posted in the GIF format on the host your sending them too. This format is limited to 256 colors, and the dithering that is taking place converting your jpg image to a gif (From 16mil colors to 256) is whats causing the appearance you see.

So i see grrr i save 1 file under gif and it doesnt return back to normal after that but every windows app does that some are rather annoying yet this one doesnt -_- anyway thanks....

glad you got that fixed Chris.......your screenies still look cool lol

and congrats to Dr. Zeppers for solving the mystery!

Eh what kinda file uses only 256 colors bleh... although they did have a unique style :D but still it was annnoying.

very unique indeed.......hadn't seen it like that before you came along lol

They looked like they had been painted on canvas... I liked it.
