is told. It's the program that is at fault. I know that's what you meant, but we all too often blame the wrong things without thinking about it.
A few months ago, I started a thread in this forum concerning Resolution. I could not understand why pictures taken on a 7.2 megapixel camera were pixelating on my monitor. I received lots of very clever detailed advice, some of which was way over my head. I solved the problem by changing from my photo editing software of choice, to Adobe Photoshop 6.
I now think I know what the problem was. My editing software of choice was MGI Photosuite 4, because it is simple to use (designed for the home user), and I was used to it. However, in the programme properties, there is a box labled "compress contents to save disc space". Even though this box is not ticked, when I download a picture of, for example 3.1mb, the software reduces this to 0.8mb. I have tried it a number of times with the box ticked, and not ticked, and it makes no difference. There is apparently a glitch in the software.
I just thought the less knowledgable amongst you would appreciate knowing the answer to a puzzling problem. It's not allways the idiot operating the computer that is at fault. Sometimes it's the computer! (Or is it?)
