All of my images are appearing with a pattern of "dots" over the entire image.
I opened a support ticket and I am not here complaining. I just would like to know if anyone else has this kind of problem.

It is definitly on your side. It appears that you are not using 'True color' pictures(i.e. 24 or 32 bit images). Looks like to old 256 color where it dithered to approximate the colors. Hope this helps.
Save your images on your computer as JPG files, not GIF files. GIF files only support 256 colors.
THAT'S WHAT I HOPED FOR! An answer I can do something about.
I use Photoshop, which is not exactly cheap!, and used the "save for web" option. I'll have to see if I can get it to outout jpgs for the web.
THANKS TO ALL!

Just an FYI, PhotoShop ABSOLUTELY will be able to save JPG files.
Just a note to you though... You can select the Image Quality level in PhotoShop and so you pretty much have the power to decide what file size you end up with when you are done. The higher the Image Quality, the bigger the file-size, but realize that Auctiva will re-size the files when they get here so they will all end up a common size anyway.
The point is...you really cannot go too high on the Image Quality because Auctiva will re-size them. However, you can go too low. If you set the Image Quality too low you could actually end up with pictures that look worse than GIF's.
I think I save most of my pics at 80% and then let Auctiva do the rest. They end up looking very good even when Supersized. I have a 5MP camera that I use as well and I take all of my pics at the full 5MP...
Hope that helps...

GIF files can be considerably smaller than JPG's under the right conditions. Primarily when they're drawn by graphics people and use 256 or less colors. A logo for example can often be just 3-4 colors and would be much smaller as a GIF file and would look exactly the same. In that case a GIF is better. For auction photos though a JPG will almost always be as small and will look better.
