I've inserted a photo in Swish, but no matter what I do, the quality is poor. I've tried saving at 15% compression jpg and even with no compression (before inserting), and set the compression level within Swish at 0 . . . and no matter what I do, it looks like **** ! Pardon the stars! ;-)

Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks a bunch!

That said, I was reading something just last night that might help. I haven't tried it, yet. In your graphics program, if it has a "sharpen" feature, sharpen the photo a little. It should look just a tad odd. What this is supposed to do is compensate for the softening, or slight blurring, that occurs as Swish (or some other program) compresses the photo.

I would love to know if you try this, whether or not it works.

I tried your suggestion, Goober, about sharpening it before importing into Swish, but that didn't help. godshall2, this is a photo image, so a .gif won't work.

I'm pretty well convinced it's the photo itself that's causing the problem. It's a comping image from one of the online stock photography sites. It looks great until I edit and save it again as a jpg (even without compressing it further). The portion of the image that's giving me problems is a gradient, and that's where it becomes blotchy. I called their online help, and they suggested purchasing, and if I still have problems with the actual (non-comp)image, I can return it, so that's what I'm going to do.

I'll let you know how it works out!
