Hi on my website i have websites as examples but when i make them small enough to be on the page as an example it is very distorted. I have noticed on most other sites they have examples of the same size but very clear.

How can i do this so that my example b4 being clicked on is clear enough to view as a thumbnail type pic

Are you just reducing the large images size in the html like this:

 

<img src="image.jpg" width="58" height="58" />

 

or are you making a thumbnail image of your site in graphics editor?

 

 

 

I only ask because if it is in the html you should use a graphics editor and make a thumbnail sized image rather than relying on the browser to make a good reduction (this will never happen). If you are using a graphics editor which one are you using?

First thank you for the rapid reply.

actually im a bit ashamed lol

i got the website up in IE and did a print screen and then saved it in PAINT.

I havent got a clue about image editors do you have a good one to do this?

And yes i inserted the saved foto into a wysiwyg program and moved it around to fit much smaller

have a look on that site you will see what i mean on the portfolio page

my word that is terrible quality - your thumbnails take ages to load as you're using the large sized image and shrinking it down with HTML. If I view the image separately in another browser they're huge and very pixelated.

 

I normally take a section of the site graphic and make a thumbnail out of that when I want to show websites or other work in my portfolio...I personally think it's better than a full screen shot. I take a screengrab and then in Fireworks select the bit I want to be a thumbnail.

 

I looked at your source code and took a note of the width you have your current thumbnails and made you the following...hope that helps...

My word they certainly do make a difference i thank you for making the thumbnails for me. Im going to have to work at getting this right but you have opened my eyes. thank you for that.
