Blurry Images

I am a bit of a photographer. My images are sharp and detailed on my PC, when I put them online at my website, they are blurry, very blurry. I have my monitors calibrated for color and they run at 1920x1080 resolution however, images look terrible online, blurry, dark.

I have looked all over for a fix for this but have not found one. The only thing I saw was about blurry text and that is not my problem. I unchecked hardware acceleration and that did little, if anything. I am very surprised this hasn't been reported by anyone else. There has to be a resolution out there. In Internet Explorer they are better, marginally but Firefox they just look terrible.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Bill

Are you viewing the images in the same resolution as when they were saved and uploaded?

If the images are scaled on the web page or if you zoom the page then this can cause issues like you experience.

Does this also happen if you open an image in a new tab and click a possible + or - zoom icon?

Hello! This problem is most likely on the site to which you upload photos. Many resources specially installed settings to change the image quality to suit the picture quality on Drupal after loading changed at from 100% to 75% of all most problem with the site, please try to contact the administrator of the resource. For example, try to open this page. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4KUARZUQ-n_X1FrY29XVXpHUTQ&usp=sharing

Its Viewbug.com. They exists because of photographs. I wish I could show you an example.

I took screenshots and sent them to Viewbug.com. There is a noticeable difference in the images between my PC and online. I am concerned about this because others may see my images this way as well and this is way and think that is all I can do. Blurry images for a landscape photographer is not good.

I would attach screenshots but I don't want the image being "borrowed"

Thanks

I have tried that - or +, it doesn't improve the image quality.
