sorry about giving out bad advice... I should probably leave the answering of questions to people who actually know more about it than I do...

and ImageReady I do know... so that gives me an idea of it. I've had maps do this in the past to me... back when I was using CC2 and I believe I was using PSP to compress jpg's... maybe it has something to do with the actual exporting stage... If i remember correctly PSP has several options about web-safe colors and the fuzziness might be from choosing a form of compression like that.... just a thought anyway
