Title: What causes "waxiness"? Post by: CHoffman on March 24, 2021, 04:11:28 PM I see this most with overly compressed video conference images, but I also see it in details of my photos that are overly processed. I'm just curious if there's any particular aspect of sharpening that makes it better or worse. Yes, I can just try things, but I want to know if anybody can give me more depth of understanding as to why it happens.

If your internet (either down or up speed) isn't optimal or you are using WiFi with a low signal, most video or streaming services will realize they don't have enough bandwidth to work with so as a result, they will increase compression to compensate and/or even reduce the resolution of the stream. Having a good, reliable connection is key.
