"JPEG Options" - how to Turn Off?

1076 views5 repliesLast post: 2/25/2004
I'm preparing digital images for making Slides.
As soon as I "Save As", the "JPEG Options" shows up. I guess, I don't need the file to be compressed ?
The file becomes small, from ~3MB to ~80KB.
Aren't Slides need the original file size ?

Thanks!

Select 100 percent, or MAXIMUM and you should be okay.
If you are using Automate (droplet or batch) just create an action and answer all the questions, then use the action.

I guess, you don't need to be saving in JPEG format, which, is, like, compressed.

The file becomes small, from ~3MB to ~80KB.

All JPEG files are compressed.

What's more, JPEG uses "lossy" compression. That means the image quality is degraded in order to make the file smaller.

JPEG is only suitable for situations like the Web, wqhere file size is important and image quality doesn't matter.

If you don't want to compress and degrade your images, do not use JPEG.

True, but I think we should stop reminding these people, then look back a few years from now at the wasteland of compressed images lost to time. It's evolution, Tacit! Let it happen!

Would you accept: All cases where the image size is so big you don't care for 8 pixel square artifacts? Like images 6000x4000 pixels or bigger.
