MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / October 2007What's wrong with these photos?
http://www.woodcraft.com/stores/store.aspx?id=531&nav=photos What went wrong with the photos on that page? I'll be designing my first web page soon, and want to avoid the same mistakes. Kinda looks like they were dimensionally resized without keeping the aspect ratio locked.

I've manipulated my own digital photos in all sorts of ways, but I've never ended up with anything that hideous. I was wondering if anything could happen "post me" that would cause that problem. > Looks like they tried to enlarge tiny pictures and they all pixilated. > They certainly aren't easy on the eyes.

Resize and optimize your images outside of FP with an image editor, make sure to keep the aspect ratio the same as the original. Don't try to make small images bigger. Work with high res, good quality original images (always save an untouched original) and only save as an optimized .gif or .jpg as the last thing before using it in your final web layout.

The website you link is created with Microsoft Visual Studio. If you are using Publisher to build the website, which is the subject of this newsgroup, then there are some steps to take to maximize the quality of images, but that is dependent upon the version of Publisher used. And if you aren't using Publisher, you might move your question to a more appropriate group, for a better answer.

Perhaps the photos were compressed too much. But since they are about the right size (36kb for storelib1.jpg), what I suspect is that they used the getthumbnailimage function in .Net. The function can be used to make a thumbnail from a digital image that is too big for displaying on your webpage and it works fine if the image doesn't have an embedded thumbnail; but if the image has an embedded thumbnail it extracts that and resizes it, usually making it bigger.
