I have an application that is generating graphics on the fly from user input and database content. There is an issue involving the quality of the displayed image.
** If I save the image as a [blue]BMP[/blue], it looks great but the image is 1650Kb and loads slowly.
** If I save the image as a [blue]JPG[/blue], the file is only 26Kb, but it looks awful - grainy and with those "halo" effects that JPG's are famous for.
** If I save the image as a [blue]GIF[/blue], it is also a small file, but all the colors come out dithered and it really does not look the way it should.
Suggestions?
