Last, if you just take any pic and publish it on the web and the browser is downsizing it, it will remain pure luck and depend on the image content if the pic looks decent or not. Example for this is the 'imgwide'-tag on this very forum (pics have undertitle: Click on the image to view it in a larger size). It is not the forum software doing the compression but your browser.

Best, Georg (the other)

Georg,

thanks for the tip on the software I will go out to their web site and take a look.
