Why are all my Pictures blurred ?

All the uploaded photos are of good quality and high resolution, but they all appear blurry in jAlbum. I've also set everything to high quality in the settings, but without success. Only the thumbnails are displayed correctly. Could you please take a look at my album?

This is a Photoblogger setting. Change the maximum enlargement to 1, instead of 1.4. See screenshot.

Pushing the JPEG Quality to 100% isn't helping - it's just making the files overly large. Try 85%.

I would also set the image bounds larger - most visitors have 1080p monitors, so I would set the image bounds to 1920x1080 instead of 1000x750, or even 2560x1440!

Thank you very much. Your tips make sense, and I've adjusted the settings accordingly. Unfortunately, the image sharpness didn't improve. I've now set it so that only the originals are displayed (Display Originals). I could see an improvement in the preview. I'm currently uploading the files and I'm looking forward to the result.

Before concluding that the image sharpness has not improved, be sure to clear your browser cache.

ETA: And using the originals in the album, rather than scaled images, may result in very slow page loading.

Also, don't resize your images in some other application (like Photoshop) and then resize them again in jAlbum. Each compression is "lossy," and multiple compressions are likely to produce poor results.
