Making Graphics & Web Design Work for You
Graphics and AOL

Some versions of AOL pull a nasty little stunt of compressing graphics on the web. They'll look fine to you in AOL, but if you download graphics from the web, then try to use them, they'll look awful to everyone that doesn't use AOL. To keep from having this problem, just tell AOL not to compress your graphics.

You don't have to be signed on to do it, just start your AOL program.

1. Click the "my aol" button.
2. Choose "preferences."
3. When a new screen pops up, click the "www" button.
4. Click the "web graphics" tab.
5. Uncheck the box that says "use compressed graphics."

Simple to do, and well worth it.
