- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
When I save an image to JPEG (in Photoshop Elements 7), a dialogue box opens that gives me choices for the quality, from zero to 12.
Previously, I would always save it to 12 with the notion that I may want to print it at some point.
I recently posted a photo here; I knew when I processed it that it would be for the internet, so I saved it at a low setting (1 or 2), thinking that the screen resolution is limited and the lower setting would make the file a manageable size without compromising quality.
As it turns out, I was wrong. The image had some jagged lines that were attributed to the low-quality JPEG setting.
Well, I'm going to crank out a website soon that will display photos. What is the ideal 0-12 setting to use for these images that I know will be for internet use only?
At what point does the improved quality not show up on the screen?
Thanks!
Jon
