Why does this text look so blurry? It's bizarre. Even with my eyes 4 inches from the screen it still doesn't look sharp.

It seems absolutely stupid to criticize people on what music they prefer. It's your brain, feed it the music that appeals to it the most, and laugh in the face of all the people who try to pretend that their musical preferences are the best.

The text looks blurry because there are black pixels tinged with red all around the letters - it's pixelated. The two photos look blurry too. I think secret was either resized and compressed, saved to a lossy (compressed) jpg file, or was automatically rezied by the image host.

Ah. Strange that this problem doesn't show up more often.

I think at least one secret from every post has this problem. It's not as obvious with busy backgrounds but it's very obvious when there are solid colors defined by sharp edges and lines.

Think of it this way - quality is when the division between solid red lettering on green background is very sharp. You can tell the exact pixel when the change in colour happened. Blurred is when there is a gradual, even, consistant tonal change in color from red to green. Lossy compression is when there is a sharp division between red and green but there are some red-hued dots scattered in the green part of the picture and green-hued dots scattered in the red part of the picture.

The blurriness might be my incompetence with GIMP - it's been a long while since I used it and I've never been really good at it, haha. At least it's somewhat legible? It's an accomplishment :P

Ah, GIMP. When you select save as a .jpeg image, GIMP should open a new window and ask what quality you want the picture to be saved as. The default quality is 85% so make sure it's set to 100% and it shouldn't be blurry next time.
