  Please check out the couple latest posts I’ve made @ http://fashionography.net (Possible 18+)

  This hasn’t ever happened before but my images on the latest page have been auto-pixelated. I’m wondering what’s going on and how I can fix this.

  Thank you,

  Are you resizing the images using WordPress? If so, then it’s best if you resize the images on your computer.

  I’m letting WP resize the images but I’ve always done it the same way.
  I don’t get why I’m having these problems only with the last few posts now.

  Because in the last few posts the originals are wider than the correct maximum for the theme you’re using (which is 680px), so WP downsizes them, while in some older posts the originals are narrower than that.

  They’re wider in all cases. I get the point you’re trying to make and it’s most definitely a valid one. However, I’ve changed nothing. The photos have always been wider and I’m only seeing the problem on the first page of the blog.

  Sorry to be a bother. I just wanted to find out if this was a widespread issue.

  Depending on the nature of the image, the issue might be less or more noticeable.

  But… “always wider”? Example:
  http://fashionography.net/2011/03/08/juvenile-success-photographed-by-jason-ierace-for-tangent-magazine-6/
  First image 800 px wide, all the rest 600 px.

  Always wider AKA 99.9% of the time. I have many posts.
  Thanks for the article. I’ll definitely check it out.

  Also, note:

  The images in question appeared okay initially and then went to being pixelated as you probably had the chance to see. Now, however, they’re back to looking just fine.

  You’re welcome.

  99.9% of the time? I just picked page 25 of your blog at random and landed on the 0.1%? Must go get me some lottery tickets!

  Anyway, all the images in all your posts are slightly duller than the originals, because of the reason I explain in my article. But your last remark shows that maybe we weren’t talking about the same thing. At the moment your images are just as they were when I first checked your blog, so maybe you were talking about severe pixellation: if you saw them ok then pixellated then back to fine, then you probably had a temporary browser or server problem.

  Hi all,

  I am experiencing the same problem. Sorry to be a dunce, but when you say 800 px or 600 px, how does that translate into ___ x ___ pixels, so I am able to resize the picture. Right now it’s 307 x 425 and it’s coming out pixelated.

  Thanks so much.
