RE: DEGRADADED GRAPHICS

[scarlet]

HI ALL:

RECENTLY I READ AN EXPLANATION RE: WHY SOME GRAPHICS PIXELLATE MORE THAN OTHERS

"BECAUSE THEY ARE DEGRADADED DUE TO OVERUSE"

IT WENT ON EXPLAINING TO "TEST" FOR THIS, RUN THE GRAPHIC THROUGH ENHANCE/ EQUALIZE OR NORMALIZE AND IF IT PIXELLATES, IT IS TOO "OVERUSED". IN ORDER TO COUNTERACT THAT, ONE MUST SET THE QUALITY AT OUTPUT = 100

???????????

FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW GRAPHICS GET "USED TO MUCH" TO BEGIN WITH IF THEY HAVE NO EXPOSURE TO THE ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS WHICH IS USUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR DEGRADING SUCH THINGS AS PHOTOS, DISCS, ETC.

SECOND,
I HAVE BEEN IMAGING FOR QUITE AWHILE NOW AND OFTIMES WHEN I USE ENHANCE/OPTMIZE AND/OR
EFFECTS/EMBOSS THE GRAPHIC PIXELLATES. IT SEEMS TO DEPEND ON THE MATTE.
(EVEN IE. ONE CAN MAKE A GRADIENT BACKGROUND FROM SCRATCH AND IT CAN PIXELLATE WHEN EQUALIZED. HOW IS THAT USED TOO MUCH?)
PLUS LOWER QUALITY IE. 25 ON A PRE-MADE GRADIENT WILL ALSO CAUSE PIXELLATION. AGAIN, NEVER BEFORE USED MATERIAL)

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME THIS AS TO WHETHER IT IS TRUE OR NOT AND , IF SO, HOW CAN ONE TELL?
IF IT IS TRUE, WHAT WOULD BE THE GO AROUND FOR IT, IF ANY?

THANK YOU
