Help Camera pictures losing quality when moved?

[nhindian]

I'm not sure how to explain this. If I take a picture with my camera, it looks great on my phone. Colors are deep and full and the sharpness is fine. However, when I mail it to myself or try to access it from my computer, the colors look washed out and flat. It's not really a blown highlight problem and I'm shooting at 8MP.

Here's an example:

I'd really like to fix this :/

I'm surprised I'm the only one having this problem...

If you tamper with it at all, it seems to get rebuilt in a much smaller format.

You can copy them straight from your SD card to your computer and monkey with them with photoshop or other high quality software and keep your quality... but it takes lots of elbow room to manipulate and render large photographs..... the memory limitations imposed upon phone apps do not allow this latitude.

So there's no way to fix it on the phone itself? I find that kind of stupid, and do people that post their pictures on here retouch them on their computer? Pictures look so good until I transfer them...

ugh
