Hi everyone need some quick help here please.
I have a friend on a Mac running CS2, trying to take a folder of TIFFs, and do a Save As to create JPGs.
1. For a single file, he opens the TIFF, hits File/Save As.
2. He selects JPG from the format dropdown
3. He sees that the predicted file size in the Size part of the dialog looks right
4. He actually saves the file
5. He goes to the folder where the JPG was created, and theres the JPG.
6. PROBLEM: The JPG file size is exactly the same as the original TIFF.
7. This happens no matter what JPG quality he selects. Different quality values change (appropriately) the predicted file size, but the end result is always the same.
8. On the PC, the dialogs the same, but you actually get a JPG thats far far smaller (so it really is compressed). And predicted file size matches the actual size of the JPG that gets created.
Any Mac gurus out there that know whats going on, and what the answer is?
We dont want to use Save For Web for huge number of reasons (including the loss of metadata, color profiles, resolution, etc.)
Thanks in advance for your quick help!
