I am trying to upload my submission. I have saved it as a jpeg in PhotoShop, I have saved it "for web" in PhotoShop, I have saved it as a jpeg in PaintShop Pro, I have saved it as a jpeg in Corel 10, always with no compression, and as high as I can get the jpeg quality within the 150kbs. The image is sharp on my monitor. When I have uploaded, I then view my submission and it looks ghastly, full of what I would assume to be compression! What am I doing wrong. I have decided this is why I have not yet won DP Challange!

Martin, your "Noodle Man" photo looks very crisp and smooth to me. I don't think you need to do anything differently.

I agree Martin. Your noodle man shot looked great. I save mine as a jpeg in Photoshop. After I get the cropping right at the required pixel counts i can usually get mine to right under 150k by setting it on 10 in the jpeg window. of course your image should be rgb. i would avoid the "save for web" in Photoshop if at all possible. It can really mess with your color.

The way a photo looks on your monitor in a browser vs. Photoshop may have to do with your resolution settings, which might affect whether the browser has to scale or otherwise mess with the image. Try changing your settings in the MONITORS (Mac) or DISPLAY (Windows) Control Panel and see if there's any improvement.
Also, try using your browser to open the same file directly from your hard drive and compare how it looks to over the internet.
I save my final edited version as a TIFF, then use Save As Copy to save JPEGs with progressively lower quality settings until I get it under 150k.

This was the case for me too for a while and I was mystified. I like that feature TOO much not to use it. Turns out calibrating my monitor fixed the color issues regarding "Save for Web" completely.

Passing this along in case it helps you.
