How do I save pictures with good quality, without having photoshop?

[Tiffany2070]

When I make graphics on GIMP and save them, then upload to photobucket, they are mildly fuzzy and distorted. When I save them on paint, the same thing happens. Yet when I use a computer that has photoshop on it to save the graphics in photoshop and upload them on photobucket they look fantastic. What can I do, other than buying photoshop, to make my images have the same quality?I ALWAYS SAVE AS .PNG.

Try PhotoScape, it's free.

I'm not 100% sure if this will work, it does for me, especially when making sprites. What kind of graphics are you making? But anyway, when saving in paint, do not save Jpeg. Save as PNG. My pictures retain their quality when I save them as a PNG file. If that doesn't work, let me know. I'll get you a concrete solution.
