The JPG artifacts are not good. Also are you sure the scene setup is same for both?

both are jpg, files posted are same, top is picasa edited a bit.

as for the png file, I found that, a png file edited with picasa, if not saved, and posted on the forum will not show properly. so here is the png version, edited a bit in picasa.
thanks
Philip

This cannot be direct output of Maxwell. I see heavy blocking on the red ground. If possible, please post the raw image because there's something wrong here.

Now #2 is clean and in expected quality. I'm not sure what's wrong with Picasa but the picasa images you've sent has heavy compression artifacts. Maybe someone out there can help about Picasa workflow.

Hey Philip- those all look great on my screen. I am running Firefox (newest) and I don't see any artifacts on any of your images.
Tom could this be browser specific?

Philip those rings look great.. nice lighting... my only comment would be that your flooring material looks very black. Other than that they look terrific!

It's normal you didn't notice because the JPEG artifacts are very subtle. If you want to see these artifacts, open both last and previous images and increase their brightness, you will spot the difference. ;)

Cary,
I will look into floor coloring..
my screen setup seems to be a bit bright, so it shows lighter floor on mine
thanks for th tip.

Tom,
I do see what what you mean, there is some probelm, I am looking into lighing set up. will post fresh render with modified lighting.
is there a way do I calibrate my screen, so others can see same as my colors & brightness ?
thanks for your support

AFAIK, only IE has inability of displaying a PNG with correct color space and the rest works. So, you don't have to worry especially if you're rendering in sRGB and saving as JPG. But, be careful about the settings of the other imaging applications. In order to maintain most common compatibility, make sure they have sRGB set in their RGB color profile.
