How to make a picture sharp on web page?

[gz]

Hi, I created some pictures using CorelDraw and Photoshop, they looks very
clear on the photo editor. I saved them as jpg. When those pictures inserted
to web page, their resolution become very low.

These pictures is opened directly by web browser, it looks clear. However,
if inserted to web page on FrontPage, it become not clear, even using
preview.

Any help for this problem?

BTW, On FrontPage, what format is better, jpg or gif?

Thanks!

The images should appear the same- do you have a link to a
page with the image for review?

gif or jpg? I use both formats along with png depending on
the image and application.

Import them images into your web prior to inserting them into the page.
FrontPage automatically compresses JPGs when it is done the other way.

As for the format, neither is "better." Both work well in all browsers.
Actually, the most important question is "what is the size (in bytes) of the
image?" The size (in bytes) determines the download time it takes to get the
image (and the page that contains it) into the browser.

The size in bytes and the physical dimensions are 2 entirely different
things, although the physical area of the picture will affect the size in
bytes. But there are other considerations also, including compression, which
I have already mentioned, and color.

GIF format is a paletted format with a maximum of 256 colors, which can be
*any* 256 colors. This makes the GIF format smaller overall, but with less
color difference than JPG. Any image that has relatively few colors should
usually be saved as a GIF file. GIFs also support transparency.

JPG format is a raster (columns and rows of pixels) format, which can
contain literally any colors in it in any number. It is generally better for
photographs and images that have a lot of color variation in them. It can be
compressed, but uses a "lossy" compression algorithm that causes the quality
of the image to go down the more you compress it. JPGs also do NOT support
transparency.

Thank you for your reply.
Excuse me, I don't know how to "import images into web prior to inserting
them into the page." Could you please give me some details about this?
Thanks again!

Open your web in FrontPage. Then use File->Import to import the images
into your web.
Add the pictures to pages from wherever you imported them to.
