That looks like compression artifacts to me. This can be caused by high
compression of JPG images.

One more thing: Your page looks pretty bad on a high resolution monitor.
Looks like you designed for 640x480 or 800x600. You might want to test at
1024x768 and higher.

Jim, perhaps you oversharpened them a bit too much. Try using the
'unsharpen' mask or an auto setting on the originals instead of the
'sharpen' setting if your program has one. Image Composer will sharpen them
painlessly if you have it. Each time you resave a .jpg it degrades so hope
you still have the originals to work with.

Your images aren't displaying on your page now so I can't
see what you mean but another thing that will cause
distortions in images post upload is using the height and
width parameters of the img src tag to resize an image.
That's generally a no no. Squeeze a large image into a
small space and all sorts of distortions can show up even
if the image is resized proportionately.

Also make sure you're saving in the right format. Your page
has coding for gif images (that can't be found) that sound
like photos. Photos are better saved as jpg.
