Solve : Help -- mysterious desktop blurriness? |

Answer» Quote Maybe it's just that I'm more the artistic perfectionist type and therefore very attentive to little details Or possibly you just have better eyesight... I was performing the same zooming exercise as BC_P but he beat me to it... To me the effect is quite subtle when the image is viewed at 1:1 but when I zoom in I can see the effect clearly. A solution I have seen for setting a PNG as desktop background giving visibly artifacted result relies on the fact that (apparently) Windows won't recompress the image if it's already JPG, so you could substitute your own hopefully milder compression settings for Windows default ones by saving the image as a JPG using settings (DEPENDING on your editor) LIKE quality: 100, and subsampling: 1x1, 1x1, 1x1. This may give a better result. Quote Windows won't recompress the image if it's already JPG Just save the image as a bmp, then change the extension to jpg. Windows 7's desktop background engine will ignore the wrong extension and process the image WITHOUT compression. I just TRIED this. |
