Welcome to the Xtreme Conference Zaoka.

At this size I don't think Photoshop is going to do any better.

If you look at the attached image (1000 X ZOOM) you can see that you do not have a lot of pixels to work with.

I am not sure what your export resolution is but for Windows you should export at 96dpi (Windows screen resolution) and do your visitors a favor, make the buttons or banners images large enough so someone can read them.

Someone here posted a link to a page explaining when to use GIF, PNG or JPG. I can't find it again but think it would be a great page to have bookmarked. Here is an image that shows what was explained. I think I got it correct.

I tend to export everything from XX as PNG because that's the way my jigsaw maker wants them.
