Tim, the Luncheon hangs at the Phillips Collection Museum in DC I believe. To get the really large reproduction I went to: artgazebo.com
Of all places. They sell prints with frames, but they seem to have the best looking reproductions on the web. Another one is the globalgallery.com
If you really enjoy Renoir and the Impressionists, Barnes & Noble Books publishes
"The Impressionists" by Gabriele Crepaldi, which is the best I have seen.

Oh Cynthia you are so right, it is going to be so nasty! I am already an offender of resaving jpegs, thus killing bits of information each time!

ReNae, that is one thing you should make sure you are not doing. Do not open a jpeg file and re-save it with changes as a jpeg file. Each time you do that it loses information. You should save it as a .tiff or .psd, then when you are ready to post on the web, open and save your updated document as a jpeg.

Another thing you might be doing is lowering your resolution and not changing your pixels to the width restriction of 400 at the same time. This is extremely important, especially as I mentioned above. If you save a jpeg as a 72 dpi file then try to make the width larger it is trying to make 2 scrambled eggs out of one. There will be no yellow! Think in little squares that you can take away but not add.

I mean this in the nicest way. Please know I have 5 Macs on a network and have worked on them for years. I strongly suggest, no matter what computer you use, if you don't feel it is your life's calling to become computer literate go buy any of the "For Dummies" books. They are great!
