Okay, so a few of my recent layouts that I have posted to the gallery have looked very grainy. Most of my pages have lots and lots and lots of layers. To get a great crisp image I usually flatten, reduce the image to 500 pixels and save as a JPEG which is under 250kb.
Recently using this process I have been unable to get the image under 250kb, the page has too many elements and layers and takes up to much memory even when flattened. So I have been using the save for web tool in photo shop but this is producing grainy pics such as the following...
Can anybody recommend any better way, so my gallery pics are crisp and not grainy
Please HELLLPP....
(If you are looking at these now and saying they are not grainy - it's because all the lovely ladies below helped me work out the problem and I re-uploaded the images
