  1. Download the image and use a rasterbator.
  2. You need two pictures, one high resolution, the bigger one, and a second, a reduced size, a "thumbnail", the one you display. Use the onclick event to display the high resolution, bigger image, or a simple anchor tag. So, take the highest resolution picture you can, the biggest with the most detail. Then, using an editor, reduce the size and save the thumbnail. On your web page, put up the thumbnail image in an anchor that when clicked displays the bigger image. The reason you are getting a fuzzy picture is your resolution is too low initially and the low resolution shows when you intentionally enlarge the small image to something bigger in the same manner as examining a newspaper picture under a magnifying glass. The reason for the two pictures is page loading time. The thumbnail loads relatively fast so your page displays fast. Only later, if they click on your thumbnail link, does the browser take the extra time to load the bigger image. Remember, not everyone has a high speed connection, there are still a huge number of people using dialup connections and loading huge images does take several seconds (maybe minutes) of waiting time over a 56k modem connection. If you examine the source code for the web pages you have seen, I'll bet even money they are using a 2nd image to get the big picture detail you are seeing. Just keep the dialup people in mind when you put your page together. They know to expect a delay if they are loading a large image, so you won't be losing customers by having the 2nd image, but you will if you put the big image on the main page.
