Hi there,

I have created a high quality image, its currently in jpg format, and in paintshop pro it displays perfectly clear as it should.

However when the image is inserted into internet explorer the text becomes almost unreadable when scaled down to the size i need it at.

I have tried resizing in paint shop pro and i believe im doing something wrong as this reduces the amount of scaling needed but the text is once again almost unreadable.

I would be happy to email the image in question to anybody that could take a look and advise me.

Thanks in advance
Chris

Try scaling the image down before you add the text.

Sorry i should have been more clear, the text is already part of the image. The image itself is high res, not a scan, just something i have created. Im not sure how to attach it here either so could email it or if you could let me know how to attach ?

You may not be able to get the results you want. If you are resizing too much you will lose the quality of the text, as you have seen.
How much reduction do you need?

You maybe able to host it at http://www.imageshack.us/ at it's full size and yhen link to it here

Uploading here is easy but the image has to 200kb or less.

Go to the message window at the bottom of this page and click "Go Advanced" Scroll down to and click "manage attachments". In the window that appears browse to the folder that has the picture you want to upload, select it and click "upload", click "Close this window" complete your message and submit reply.

Ok here is the attatched file of the image. As you can see its for a school website, and i want it to run across the top of a 15" monitor 800x600 minimum. When viewed at this resolution in paintshop pro the image quality seems so much better than when it displays in IE.

Its the quality of the small white logos at the bottom which is the only problem.

Any ideas guys, i really appreciate this.

Im afraid to say your out of luck...

Those small logos will never reduce that much and be legible.

The middle one is already showing jaggies at the full size...

possibly take them out and display them separate

ok but the point im making is that if you take that image and zoom out a couple of times in paint shop pro - those logos display perfectly - they are legible and fairly sharp and the image is small. Take the same image into internet explorer and reduce it down and the image looks awful.

Why is this and is there any way around it? I know the small logo in the center is not very good but suprisingly when reduced down its one of the better ones!!

[buck52]

Well I don't know exactly how much you are zooming out but when I take your image into either Photoshop or PaintShop Pro and reduce it to the size needed to display on the monitor with the spec you mentioned the small parts are not legible

here's the logo at 800 pixels in width do with Photoshop

Buck thank you very much, i dont know what i was doing differently but your image is so much clearer than the one i was creating!

This will do nicely !
