Hello
A grayscale photo loses sharpness when it is coped from MS Paint to
FrontPage 2002 sp3 or is decreased in size in FrontPage 2002 sp3. How to
prevent the loss of the sharpness? I "use select all" and "copy" in MS Paint
and "paste" in FrontPage 2002 sp3 to copy from MS Paint to FrontPage 2002
sp3. I drag a corner handle towards a center of the picture to decrease the
picture in size in FrontPage 2002 sp3.

Resizing any image in FP will degrade its quality. Use your graphics editor
to resize the image before placing it on the page.

There is another good reason to do this. If you place the image on the page
first, and then resize it, the visitor to your page will have to fetch the
larger image from the server (it may well be MUCH larger) rather than the
resized image.

Please don't crosspost - you have posted to 3 separate forums with this one
(crosspost retained because I don't know which forum you will read).

Do you mean inserting the picture from a file into a web page by "Importing
it into FP - to be placed within your design from within FP"?
Do you mean setting a compression level for a jpeg image by "optimizing it"?
in message ....and some image files are degraded in the copy/paste clipboard
method...don't do it that way. Edit the image file by opening it in your
favorite Image editor program, edit it, save it, optimize it, THEN Import it
into FP - to be placed within your design from within FP.

ps...don't edit jpgs over and over again..it's a lossy format so you lose
quality everytime you save it.
