But that's not something I've ever noticed on covers unless it was undersized and so required upscaling - in which case I'd blame the image size rather than JPEG compression. I do see plenty of undersized covers. If they're JPEG they go blotchy in the solid colours, if they're PNG they just go pixelated, and neither is attractive.


This all makes me think of those TV shows where they're showing surveillance footage and they manage to blow up three pixels into a clear image of a face and then they pick out the reflection of the killer in the person's eye or something.
If I view the image at full size is what I should've said, but I was tired and caffiene-deprived.
