Hey, all!

I run Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0, (similar to ALL Photoshop Versions, *without some of the cooler features*, so you can give me instructions and I can 'translate 'em' to Elements), and I am wondering how in the world to get my images clearer once saved.

I draw them, they come out great, but then I save em and they get all discolored from what looks like blurred edges. Help!!

Please Help soon...I have sooo many people waiting for their commissions!

If you would like to know what I am talking about, check out some of my images in either gallery and notice how unclear they are....

check the quality you're saving at and the format and post it...it may be due to the format

Is it from saving them as a jpeg? I can notice some distinct quality changes at times when I save picture files as a jpeg.

Try saving as a PNG, as they tend to be closer to the original

Also is this final version or what you see on the screen? If this drawing is something you scanned in at 300dpi for example, it's going to look terrible when reduced to 25% so it can fit on your screen. But when viewed as "Actual Pixels" looks normal. In this case I would use "Save for the Web" and experiment in size reduction, finding where you are happy with quality and size.

(See attached screenshot)

And if I'm nowhere near your problem, sorry to waste your time.
