Images resized before upload and 72dpi but still come out bad quality
-
Hello,
I have a problem with the quality of the images I upload on my blog. It affects almost all, if not all (maybe I’m not noticing in the others) images, but it is most evident in the 99px by 149px images at the bottom of each post.
I have looked up possible solutions and performed recommendations given by other bloggers, such as:
1. I begin with large, high-quality images and pre-resize each of them using Adobe Photoshop CS before uploading.
2. I make sure they are 72 dpi.
3. I make sure they don’t exceed the width of the blog content frame given by my theme’s specs.
4. When I upload, I don’t resize them via WordPress anymore.
5. I even went so far as go to the HTML editor and remove the width and height in the img src codes even when they weren’t resized via WordPress anyways.Still, the images come out grainy. And it’s not just after clicking “Publish” on the post. I notice that the image previews are already grainy on the “Add Image” box right after upload.
I still have some of the images on my computer file, for comparison. The images look OK on my end, so I’m positive they aren’t grainy to start with.
Am I missing some kind of option/tool available? Or is there a paid upgrade that guarantees this problem will not occur?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no paid upgrade that will chnage image quality. Most photographers do not provide high resolution images to discourage content theft. Maybe you have a browser related issue because I’m not seeing graininess. Exactly which browsers and versions of them are you viewing your blog with please?

Aha! That may well be the problem. I am using Google Chrome (version says 33.0.1750.154 m) but my system is (embarrassingly) Windows XP.
Since you’re there and you looked, did you notice little gray-ish dots hovering in the white spaces around the text part of my 99×149 “You might also like” images at the bottom of my posts? (I manually create those images using Photoshop.) Those dots are what’s bothering me.

Sorry for bothering the support forum with a non-problem. (I should have extended my research by asking a few friends to check it out on their machines first!) Thank you so much for your time and forbearance.
