What's Wrong With My Screenshots?

I need advice!!

from WinCustomize Forums

Hey skinners, I can't figure out what is wrong with my screenshots for my DX themes. This one was captured and saved with Photoshop CS4. Set at 300 pixels per inch. But they seem garbled in the gallery, unless you zoom. Seems fine here, but the screeny in the gallery sucks. Any advice?

When you go to save, are you choosing "save for web" and setting the quality at 100% ? That's what I do. Also, why 300 pixels per inch? that's unnecessary, and may be part of the problem.

Most thumbnails look bad until you zoom, always have.

Nothing seems amiss, Jim. Looked at it in DX gallery...on my 1280x800 machine...looks great to me. But then, what do I know?

should be 72 dpi, 300 is for print.

Actually, I believe it is now 96 dpi for web/computer viewing on Windows systems.
