Note to AOL users

If you are browsing through the AOL internal web browser, be aware that AOL compresses web images, and in doing so blurs them. In addition to compressing graphics, AOL shrinks each one to 640 x 480 (due, it says, to limitations in their compression software). Wallpapers are much larger than 640 x 480, so this resizing further degrades image quality.

When the AOL caching system detects that an object is an image, it sends the image through a compression manager on the AOL system network before caching it. Compression makes images smaller for faster retrieval from the cache to members. Members can individually disable AOL graphics compression, but most choose to allow compression because it speeds up web page delivery.

Determining Compressibility:

• In order for an image to be compressed, it must have the following characteristics:
• The user must have compression turned on.
• The object must be in the BMP, GIF, JPEG, or Progressive JPEG format.
• The object size must be between 1KB and 8 MB.

If you use AOL’s internal browser, disabling AOL’s image compression will allow you to view all graphics as designed. The internet may run a bit slower, but graphics won’t be compressed by default.
