Background Image dithering - 8/29/2005 2:13:57   
I am really out of my element working with images..

Have an image in the background of a table cell and it appears to be dithering when viewed in the browser. The image is the problem and I can't seem to fix it.

Have attached a screenshot of what I'm seeing in the browser (may have to go up to 200 - 400% to see the problem clearly), and another of the actual image. It's on an Intranet so I've no URL to post.

I'm using FireWorks but really don't know what I'm doing yet (only commenced using it at the start of this month - up until then I used PhotoDraw but my old machine with a copy of this finally wore out :) ).

Basically I need someone to tell me what I've done wrong...

Thanks :)

Sally

see what you mean - the yellow isn't 'clean'

can you post a link to the original fireworks png? or if you can't upload it somewhere (the forum only allows) then can you email it to me at
dave_pirjo[at]surfeu.fi

thanks :)

i'm not sure how you can have arrived at the gif you have ubless somewhere along the line you saved it as a jpeg - thatäs the only thing i can think of that would account for those artefacts.

exporting as a gif from your original (clean) fireworks png and using 'exact' as the palette type i get a comletely clean gif

Dave, thanks so much!! I really do appreciate your help :)

The original image was a jpeg ... and of course I'm really not sure what I'm doing in Fireworks yet. After reading your post I went into it and found where the 'exact' palette type is :)

Thanks again for your time :)

Sally
