The problem is your software is overly compressing the JPEG. You need some control over the quality of the compression. On a quality scale of 100, it looks to be about a 20%. 70% and up, quality wise, yields an acceptable image.

With Photoshop this qualty is easy to adjust on a slider that runs from 1 to 12. 7 and higher is acceptable. 10 - 12 may make the file too big to post here though.

Sorry about your dilemma Lisa.

Garth
