      I'm wondering why my web images aren't that clear, and have the jaggies?

      If you go here https://woodsshop.com/Pavilion/9x13-Pavilion-Plans.htm and click the 1st image you'll see, jaggies and the text is fuzzy.

      I export at 6000 pix wide, crop and resize them to 1000. I have my screen resolution set at 1920 x 1080, is that the problem?

        To me the text is not fuzzy. The only jaggies are the fascia board which can be expected with the angle. Downsizing to 1000 px may be why?

          I export high rez to reduce the jags, the resize, isn't 1000 a good size for images on web pages?

            They do not look jaggy to me in IE 11.

            Have you tried exporting them as PNG instead of JPG? PNG images will resize better since they are raster instead of vector.

            Also, in either format, look at your anti-alaising settings.

                Whenever you scale an image up or down there are compromises.

                Check out my daughters web site (Canadian Artist) and also read some of these articles about image sizing.

                    Yes, that is true but raster scales better than vector. That is one of the major advantages of raster.

                        .jpg is a lossy format so pixels artefacts are part of the furniture.

                        .png would be a better option.

                          you have that completely the wrong way round...

                          vectors are 'infinitely' scalable, raster has a fixed size [jpg, png, tiff are all raster]...

                          jpg should only used for photo's, it can't cope with text or line work on white backgrounds...

                          both png and tif offer better quality and can be optimised for the web using free tools like 'optipng' [does many formats]...

                          @Joe, export big and hi-rez, optimise but don't change the size, use the web page to scale the image to fit...

                          for a forum restricting size is important, but for your own site, with so few images there's little to worry about...

                          broadband speeds can cope...

                          what you see in your browser, is most likely a separate issue, check your browser setting and/or do one of the online browser graphics performance tests...

                          BTW: it looks ok on my mac...

                              How about Plans Pages where I email them about 15 Pages, each to be printed on 8.5 x 11" paper? Should they be png or tif?

                              do I need to export them at 6000 pix wide, then resized to what size? I'd like to keep file size down, for emailing.

                                These are nice. Why not send pdf files? Are you using LayOut?

                                  No just exported jpg images. Resized to 2000

                                  I don't like pdf because when viewing them all in a folder you can't click Next to view the next pdf.

                                    Here is your model exported as pdf
                                    pdf = 56K
                                    tif = 1107K
                                    png = 409K

                                    Just for show, I zoomed in with the pdf reader and then took a snap shot of it and saved as png.

                                    Personally - I think you could create a catalog of pdf's. It certainly is smaller.


                                    Example Corner_Connections.pdf

                                      what pixel width were the tif and png? I like to be able to scroll thru the images.

                                          I turned off Edge Profiles in the model and also during export.

                                            Oh Profiles Off much better šŸ™‚ thanks for the great graphics advice,
                                            but with that image above I'm still getting a 304kb pdf, why is yours so much smaller at 56k ?
