[QUOTE="krs, post: 1831405, member: 67742"] I just tried what the OP is doing. And then I saved the image the way I usually do (same as everyone else it seems) - just do a right click and select "Save Image as... With the "Save Image As..." I don't see any option to save that image in a different format - it is saved at whichever format the image was on the net. Now the interesting thing is that if one enlarges the image in the browser (I use Firefox and command +) compared to enlarging the downloaded image, the downloaded image is definitely more pixelated than the downloaded image and it doesn't matter how the image is downloaded - either the way the OP does it or simply using "Save Image As...." The image I used is 250x350 pixels with a 72dpi resolution, just a ramdom image on the net I don't know if one can see the difference in the attachment, I had to reduce the size of the image for the forum software to accept it. The image on the very right is the enlargement in the browser The image in the centre is the enlargement of the download using the OPs method The image on the left is the enlargement using the download via "Save Image As...." To answer the OPs question - I think the difference is simply the way the software in the browser enlarges images vs. the software on the Mac. The browser enlargement to me looks "softer" than the enlargement on the Mac, so pixelation is not as noticeable. [ATTACH type="full"]37720[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
