Background warped?

[karigudi]

Everything looks fine when I'm working on the image in Lightroom, but when I open the image after exporting... the background looks warped - with lines (see hind little boys head). Please help!

This is probably JPG compression caused by your export settings. Try exporting at a higher quality setting, why not go all the way and set it to 100, and see if the problem disappears.

hey @dj_paige, thanks for the quick response!

Here are my current export settings

With a quality setting of 2 under File Settings I am surprised it looks as good as it does.  Set it at 85 or so.

Under File Settings, set the Quality slider to between 75 and 85.

thanks Rafael! That definitely explains why that was happening, hadn't noticed that it was accidentally brought down. Thanks!
