Uploaded Images ‘Blurry’ with WordPress
Being new to WordPress I have been using the standard image upload facilities. After upgrading to WordPress version 2.7 the Flash uploader stopped working so I resorted to using the browser based version. This was annoying but not annoying enough to make me do something about it. Then I noticed that images which were fine when captured looked fuzzy when viewing the published article, specially when using Internet Explorer.
So what was going on? Well, for one selecting anything other than full size meant the images were being re-sized by the uploader and that reduced the image quality, you notice the difference in quality compared to re-sizing the images yourself in Photoshop.
