If you are using the America Online built-in browser, you may be seeing distorted photo images. It depends on how you have your preferences set. AOL's browser has a default option to overcompress the graphics at AOL before they transmit them to you.
Compression makes images smaller for faster retrieval from the cache to members.
This a limitation of the compression software that is used for compressing photo images. Below is an example of how the default preferences can make the images look terrible. If both images look the same, your preferences setting will not give you a clear view of the photographs on this site. Instructions for changing your preferences are shown following the example pictures. Then for either AOL 3.0 or 4.0 - Go to the Web Graphics tab and uncheck the 'Use compressed graphics' box, shown below.
