[SOLVED] Images being rendered in abnormally low quality

Hi guys,

I'm not entirely sure what the issue is since I don't usually play around with image {libraries,software,etc} on Arch, but I have noticed recently that images on Arch, regardless of WM/DE, have been rendered (drawn?) in very low quality.

(Changed from image to URL, resized image didn't show what I wanted it to.)

For example, in this screenshot, you can see artifacts around the fonts and icons that normally shouldn't be seen. I took the same image with both scrot and xfce4-screenshooter, and both images look exactly the same. I'm not sure if there's something really obvious I'm missing or what, but I'd appreciate some sort of guidance.

Regards,
azrael_

You mean jpeg artifacts? Just take screenshots in png format...

I tried taking the images in PNG format and they still came up low quality.

EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't realize scrot had a quality switch. Disregard this entire thread, it's 2 AM and I'm tired!
