So, your image is scaled, and this kind of close-to-original-size is usually poorly handled by the scaling algorithms (that run in the browser).  

Your image is scaled because the HTML forces its dimension:

Code:

<img src="/uploads/2/9/6/5/29656787/published/thedrunkenhour2.jpg?1524429985" alt="Photo" style="width:489;max-width:100%" />

So yes, you appear to have it display at its native size, but obviously something is stealing two pixels. But if you want it at its native size, why specify
a size?

The only time I have changed the size is after exporting it into the website builder (weebly). Would you recommend scaling in gimp to the exact size first?

Could you give me an idea as to the standard way of doing things. Sorry I'm new to this

Many thanks
