Photo Problems

My photos look bad in Mozzilla

I built a site with Frontpage and the photos look great in ie but in other browsers they look like they have some kind of texture. Do I need to insert my photos as .gifs(right now they are all .jpegs) or some other kind of format to make them look clean?

That's a very unusual problem. First, the answer is no, you don't need to save your photos as gif's.

Now as to why a different browser would add distortion I don't know. AOL might add problems because of their odd compression algorithm on the caching servers, but Mozilla shouldn't be a problem.

Are these progressive or standard jpegs, or perhaps they were saved in one of the odd jpeg formats (there are many) and that's causing some trouble for the rendering engines ovarious browsers.

I'd like to get to the bottom of this one. It's important information for a browser freak like me!

I've seen this before. However, I figured out that it had more to do with screen resolution than browser.

Was the IE screen resolution higher than the Mozilla?

I've been looking at my site in Firebird 0.7,Mozilla 1.6a and in opera 6.06 I can't figure out why I didn't change the screen resolution at anytime and I can't seem to find any settings in any of these browsers that might change the resolution. I worked on these pics in photoshop 7.0 I added just two things a drop shadow and a small outside bevel. Also I scanned them in .tiff and then saved them first as .psd files then finally after I made the changes I saved them as .jpeg. Now I don't know if all this means anything because they look fine in IE. Anybody have another clue?
