When you load an image in Dark Basic Pro you have to put a flag on the end of the load image command so it doesn't load it with a mip map. Like this:

load image "Picture.bmp",imagenum,1

Try that and see if it fixes your problem,
Good Luck

It will also distort your image if you are saving it as a .jpg so make sure you are saving it as a .bmp

...well... I hope I helped...

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. JPG isn't an exact format like BMP is. So you have "approximations" made to individual pixels. If that is NOT the trouble, I'd check resolution scale; like too small, too large, etc. for whatever screen mode you're using.

Any truly great code should be indisguishable from magic.

the only reason jpg does that is because its a lossy compression.
it tries to mimic the original with a optimised version so the file size is smaller.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself
