My website has many high quality photos and about 900 visitors a day look at them, most use Internet Explorer. Unfortunately IE completely wrecks the picture quality when displaying it. If the photo is downloaded and viewed the quality is good. Are there any settings within IE that can be adjusted to improve displayed quality I realise that this would increase the time taken to display the picture.
If nothing is available within IE itself, is there any other viewer that would give good results
Internet Explorer ghastly photo quality

Can you provide a URL that demonstrates the issue It would be useful to compare results side-by-side.
You might consider experimenting with the Multimedia settings and see if those influence the visual quality of your sites images. It's a long shot, I'll admit. Without more details on the specific implementation details, it's hard to know where to even begin guessing where the problem might be.

1. Have the image scaled (using anti-aliasing) to the exact detentions you want it to display it. Using the the image tag hight and width attributes will always cause images to look grainer, and possibly skewed in any browser.
2. Make sure that the images are RGB, and CMYK or indexed, and make sure that app making the images is not using a color model.

Without seeing the behavior myself, I'm guessing that this is either related to the image files' color space or with IE's image auto-scaling feature.
If it's the color space, then I'm guessing that the image files are saved using an Adobe RGB profile. Web browsers though typically use the sRGB color space (hence the 'save for Web' option in editors such as Adobe Photoshop). The color spaces overlap, but there are bands that fall out of scope. This can cause display issues for otherwise fine images.
If it's IE's auto-scaling feature, then you'll need to play with the HTML img width and height properties to adjust the default display size.
If it's neither of these, can you please provide additional details (e.g., browser version, file EXIF data) and/or a link to a sample image
