I need some help here trying to solve a problem that's been plaguing me and I'm not sure how to fix. Thing is when I employ images in my cards they lose quality BEFORE I even export them. First I work these images in Paintshop Pro to a workable size, good quality, save them as PNG as I know they have good quality. Then when I select the image to put on the card frame, the image loses quality and it looks crappy.
To illustrate more clearly:
This is one pic I had trouble with. I worked with it in Paintshop pro and reached to this base here. As you can see it has decent quality.
Next is when I try to select the image, there are a few discrepancies on the quality if we look at the right screen though it is still within a reasonable range and I expect it to be due to the more oversized nature of the picture here, however..............
As soon as I ok, this is what happens............and there is a more than evident quality loss here...the pic got totally pixelated and blurred. it looks bad when comparing it to the other two preliminary phases.
That there is the problem I'm struggling with. What the heck happened in the transition that resulted in the pic getting damaged is what is beyond me. I've been playing with the Lifter too but I've had little success unfortunately. Also all of this is in on a Series 9 template.
