I created a small banner with a gradient background. I saved it as a .jpg at the highest quality. The gradient in photoshop looks great, but when I open the jpeg in another program, the gradient looks choppy and pixelated. What would be the reason for this, and how do I fix this? Thanks in advance.

Hi Dose,
You have saved a JPG. What is it you want to do with this JPG? What programme are you opening it in and what do you intend doing with it?

Well, funny you mention that, because I have narrowed the problem. I'm creating skins for an instrument in Propellerheads Reason (music program). I have noticed that my jpeg does look ok in other imaging programs, just not in Reason. So it must be a Reason issue. I have posted a topic in a related forum, so hopefully I will figure out what is going on. Thanks for the reply, and sorry I didn't have more info earlier. Any suggestions would be appreciated if you have an idea. Thanks!

chances are reason can only display a certain amount of colours so it is looking pixelated have you printed it out to see whether it is just a display issue?
