ok is it just me or is the iPod touch sh*t for putting pictures on? I would say 99% of all pictures I try to put on it end up corrupt or look over exposed or in some shape of form look corrupt, anyone else get this?

Photos look excellent on my iPod Touch. Have you updated to the latest firmware? (some Touch's had problems displaying Black which was resolved by a recent firmware update)

there have been a lot of problems with the screens, the firmware update has not solved everyone's problems.

I have 1.1.1 which initially bricked my iPod and couldn't restore with me pc (thanks to mums pc I could) not that I use pictures on my iPod but I thought i would see what the feature is like and well I am not happy, I'll copy pictures across to my iPod when I'm home and show what I'm getting if it even helps lol

what does itunes do when it "optomises" photos?

From what I can tell, makes them smaller so when your zooming in it's to the original pictures resolution which of course leads to degregation of quality when zooming.

Mine look perfect. Are you viewing them in landscape mode?

it's nothing to do with the way I'm viewing them I figured all that out lol

I'm getting them copied over corrupt, some look over exposed like u would get from a photo place, it would be better to show really

yeah, better to show. not sure what you mean by corrupt. what others have been experiencing is that the blacks aren't dark at all. have a look at the image in this thread: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthre...negative+black

is yours anything like this?

here we go a pic of what I'm getting well this is one of the more worst case pics http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/3482/image1se9.jpg
