Khorin - he didn't, he saved as a .bmp, photobucket converted it to a .jpg, its a common beginner's mistake.
Jeez, some people round here really have no patience with newbies! (i'm looking at you AdamAtomic) Everyone has to start somewhere!
If you had talked to stefml you would know that we talked over IM for about 20 minutes yesterday, about tutorials and work habits and where to start and what tools to use, and how to avoid photobucket auto-JPG-ing your images. If you have a problem with me, PM me about it, don't dump on me in a public thread, especially for helping someone out when no one else would even reply to his/her thread in the first place.
