quality problems :(

okay, well as captain utterly obvious I'll come to the rescue...facebook compresses jpeg's to 100k or something ridiculous.
@Ulfric M Douglas was right, this was the whole crux of the matter and any other discussion a waste of time

here's some light reading

there is loads of advice out there. some people say you can upload as PNG.
Others say, compress them manually and resize so that facebook doesn't think that it has to mangle them in it's usual unhelpful way.
but frankly the only way to really save your image quality I think is to control your own webhosting.
Facebook is not for high quality photographs

How does PNG handle those dark gentle gradations? Does friendface not compess PNG as much as Jpegs or does the compression just not cripple PNGs as much?
