Re: FLASH: Image quality

[Markus Gut]

If you have an image that is already in JPG format and there isn't the

same image uncompressed, it doesn't matter. The JPG format loses details

every time you save it on your hard disk. E.g. If you scan an image and

save it down to your hard disk using JPG format, it gets compressed and

it loses details. If you import it later into a Flash movie and export

that movie to a .swf file, it is compressed for the second time and it

loses details again.
