I couldnt help but notice when i loaded up the same page on my pc and mac side by side that the safari version of the page had very poor pictures, ie you could see loads of artifacts of the jpg compression.
The page I loaded was http://www.apple.com/startpage/ and you can see the picture of mr Mac and mr PC stood side by side. On the pc it was really crisp yet on the mac it was blocky as hell!
I have tried looking through Safari prefs but dont see anything anywhere that would indicate picture compression?
Another point I think I should make is that the mac is a macbook and it is running over a 54g network, so I thought maybe it realised that the speed wasnt up to scratch and therefore adjusted the picture quality itself?
Needless to say I did plug in an ethernet lead and after a couple of refreshes the page loaded and the pictures were perfect.
Which sort of answered my question? but 54g is a fast enough speed to have high quality images and I thought I should have the choice of selecting this myself?
I have searched through the forum and safari's help but found nothing that I am looking for
