White noise on dark jpeg image - ultimate slide show

[junker]

1) Script Title: Ultimate Fade-In Slideshow (v1.5):

2) Script URL (on DD):

3) Describe problem: I am having a problem with one slideshow with a dark jpeg image. White noise appears in IE...doesn't show up in firefox. The images themselves don't show any nose when the file name is entered into the web browser...only when used in the ultimate slideshow on IE6...

slideshow page is located here:

What you need is something like Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or The Gimp. Any really advanced image editor will do, as will some of the less advanced ones, as long as they can make the following type of adjustment. Make sure to keep an original copy of you image around. Load your jpg into the program. Select:

Colors > Adjust > Levels

and then on that dialogue box, make sure that the channel is set to RGB, and set the output level 0 to like 9. It will vary from image to image as to what the exact number will need to be (probably 10 or less), a little trial and error may be required. Save the image and test it in a fading/blending slide show in IE to see what effect you are having.

Thanks for your help. Adjusting levels in photoshop did the trick.

Thanks again
