is this a basic that I missed way back when I started this stuff? I am noticing some of my images are degrading over time...

any thoughts or advice?

<b>Well, are you editing already compressed JPG's?</b> If you don't use a raw (high quality) graphic file to work off, like from Fireworks/Photoshop/..., and export as needed. That's all if you're editing a exported graphic of any format.

<b>If you are noticing that your site's images are looking more and more compressed over time</b>, I can assure you that they don't <i>spoil</i>. You could be more active compressing web graphics day-to-day. The sharper your eye gets in noticing compression, the more your older work looks less professional as you consider your current work to be. <i>That's</i> a compliment! <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
