Five aspects I'm lost? keimfrei Blitz!

I really like this one but I hate that my section looks so pixelated. When I uploaded it, the image looked very clean and was high quality. The arrow sections should be a solid colour.

Oh wow.

This is fantastic.

Lilac, those are JPEG artifacts from the final assembly of the image. Perhaps the mysterious T should be using a higher quality setting?

Good work, all!

I thought that he should be using a higher setting too, but the other sections don't seem to have as many artifacts on them. It's a mystery.

I'm actually really surprised. I'm a big fan of arrows and decided to add one having no idea how to end the dark grey line. Some freaky continuity through the whole thing, IMO.

Well, artifacts in JPEGs usually happen when there are solid colors and sharp edges. JPEG isn't designed to cope well with those. I think you (Lilac Girl) probably have more solid colors and sharp edges in your panel than in the surrounding ones. I'd suggest T switch to PNG instead of JPEG now that all major browsers support it, but the file sizes would be larger for most corpses due to the number of photographic montage type works being posted, so it might take a long time to download them, and T's bandwidth might be limited, I don't know.

Corpses can(now) be re-published using a custom compression(quality) setting, so I adjusted this corpse to end up twice-as-big as it was before, which is still only 77kB ... DCT(jpeg)rulez#1 / DWT(jpg2k)rulez#2, it's (still) not prime-time-popular / LZ77(png)rulez#2, lossless @24bit is not web-friendly.
