Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. I have created a texture in photoshop which I am going to use as a background. For now, I have gone into Ortho mode and drawn the texture to cover the entire screen. The sizing is perfect, but when I compare the two images (the image in photoshop and the image within the program I created) I notice the image in the game is not as crisp. Here is the difference: http://imagesocket.com/view/compare7e6.png As you can see the rightmsot is blurry, and not like the image I had in photoshop. Here is the code I am using to load the image, is there anything wrong with it? Or do I need to do something else to make my texture as crisp as it is in photoshop? This is a 2d application, and I need the image within it to be as good in quality as it is in photoshop. Speed isn't too important.

	
AUX_RGBImageRec *pBitmap = NULL;
	
	//if(!strFileName)									// Return from the function if no file name was passed in
	//	return;

	pBitmap = auxDIBImageLoad(strFileName.c_str() );				// Load the bitmap and store the data
	
	if(pBitmap == NULL)									// If we can't load the file, quit!
		exit(0);

	// Generate a texture with the associative texture ID stored in the array
	glGenTextures(1, &textureArray[textureID]);

	// This sets the alignment requirements for the start of each pixel row in memory.
	glPixelStorei (GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT, 1);

	// Bind the texture to the texture arrays index and init the texture
	glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureArray[textureID]);

	// Build Mipmaps (builds different versions of the picture for distances - looks better)
	gluBuild2DMipmaps(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 3, pBitmap->sizeX, pBitmap->sizeY, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, pBitmap->data);

	// Lastly, we need to tell OpenGL the quality of our texture map.  GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR
	// is the smoothest.  GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_NEAREST is faster than GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR, 
	// but looks blochy and pixilated.  Good for slower computers though.  
		
	glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR);

Thanks, the texture size is the same size as the application window, 1024x768.

I shall have to recreate my textures, but this has fixed the problem save for a rearrange being in order.
