Christine & Frank, these were pretty big images. I tried reducing them to the standard 700 px and it didn't do the trick. The same happens with my photos - I have a fairly meaty Olympus SLR (E-30) and reducing them to 700px still leaves a file size that's too big, so I have to take down the resolution a touch as well. This will increasingly be a problem as the resolution of cameras goes up.
Edited to add: Just checked Irfanview - Aha. The default jpeg compression is 80%, which might be why it works consistently for others.
Anyway, that's all OT :hj: Hope someone can help with the jug
