Author Topic: JPEGS look like trash in Ai (Read 3673 times)

I had to perform a restore on my windows PC and since then couple of sites rejected my JPEG files for being "corrupted". EPS files look fine.

I checked the files along with other JPEGs created from before the restore and when I open them in Ai they appear fuzzy and are sized at 100% or more. Also the image exceeds the size of the artboard i.e. it is not restricted to the size of the artboard but fills the whole screen area in Ai. Have tried installing Ai from the loud again but no change. PC is telling me display drivers are up to date and made sure I have updated my PC on restart.

Clearly the restore has changed a parameter somewhere but I'm struggling to find the source of this issue. Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Think I fixed it - something wrong with a clipping mask - submitted for inspection to check.
