I agree, try a different image editor. I've noticed when going from
Illustrator to Photoshop sometimes there are artifacts around the edges of
images, never did figure out why...always ended up cropping a 1px edge
around the image before using it on the web.

| canvas. Save as a jpg using the compression rate of your choosing to
| produce the smallest size file that is pleasing to your eye.
