     •   Cropping removes unwanted portions of a photo.

     •   Rotation changes the orientation of a photo in 90° increments.

A:  Electronic photos tend to be large, often in the megapixel range. Such large photos pose real challenges in terms of hosting, and long wait-times for uploading and viewing the photo.  When you submit a large photo through IPIX, the system automatically resizes it to dramatically improve upload and viewing times while maintaining the optimim quality of your photo.

A:  In all likelihood, this is a display glitch where the photo quality looks less than optimal when AOL reflects your photo from the IPIX server.  This can easily be corrected by changing the settings in your AOL Preferences as described below:

     1.   In AOL, choose My AOL Preferences

     2.   Click the WWW icon.

     3.   Click the Web Graphics tab in the Internet Options dialog.

     4.   Enable the Never Compress Graphics check box.

     5.   Click the Apply button, the click OK.

     6.   Close AOL.  (Note: It is important to close AOL at this point.   If you do not, your
           photos may continue to display questionable quality.)

     7.   Restart AOL and access the photo submission page again.

     8.   Go to your ad that features the questionable photos.  There should be a marked
           improvement in the photo quality.
