ok guys, i have this ridiculous problem that makes me feel like a noob all over again. so i have my photoshop file of my enter page, and i have a drop shadow on a layer. when i view this graphic on my computer the quality is great, but when i put it on the web, the drop shadow looks all crappy and banded instead of a smooth gradient…what did i do wrong here?
