I've worked with Paint Shop Pro 9 for years. Currently I use it for work to clean up scans of sheet music before exporting to iPad. Recreationally I adapt various widescreen images to fit my 1920x1080 screen as wallpaper.
Lately I've noticed that it loads up JPG's with a noticeable, pixelly degradation. It's not my computer because I can load the same image in IrfanView with no loss in image fidelity. But by golly, I'd say about 3 in 4 car pictures I load (most of which are already 1920x1080) appear in PSP as visibly corrupted.

(yes, I know this had to be saved as such, but it already looked fuzzy in PSP before saving)
The stupid thing is, I KNOW about SAVING with less vs. more compression, but I was completely ignorant of LOADING with less vs. more compression! I've tried looking for settings that would change this, but I'm stumped. Can anybody say WTF I'd doing wrong?
