MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / February 2008Photos look posterized on website
I can't figure out why some of my photos look fine while I'm creating my web pages but then look posterized when I view the web page thru my browser. I'm using Publisher 2000 and this does not happen to all the photos. I've tried resizing them, importing them, and just dragging them onto the page. I don't know why this happens and I've been unable to find an answer anywhere. Does anyone have any input on this subject. I'm really perplexed... thanks Pub 2000 has a different html coding engine than you will find in the later versions of Publisher, and it handles images in a different way. One possible reason for your poor image quality may be that you cannot layer images over text boxes and other design elements in Pub 2000 without Publisher creating a new, combined image that is frequently lower quality. Layer a .jpg image over a text box, and after converting to html, you will have a .gif file of the original image and the text combined. If that isn't the reason for your issue, post back with more details about the circumstances of when it happens to you.

I'm really perplexed... thanks It may be the old problem with resizing photos in Publisher for the web. By "posterized" do you mean that peculiar effect that was called "solarization" back in silver nitrate dayz? This is caused by the peculiarities of JPG compression, and the best solution is to preprocess pics with a decent photo program before dropping them in Publisher. Use something like Adobe Photoshop Elements to do the resizing rather than Publisher, or at least get close before cropping in Publisher. Anyway, if you are careful, you can avoid that odd look. >Pub 2000 has a different html coding engine than you will find in the later >versions of Publisher, and it handles images in a different way.

I have all versions of Publisher and still prefer 2000. DavidF > Still around, and still using Publisher 2000.
