I'm looking to lower the file size of some jpg's but I want to know the best way. Saving for web in photoshop works, but then the color quality of the image gets dulled, anyone have a better way of doing this? 2008-09-11T09:21:54-04:00 7 2008-09-10T20:03:54-04:00 7379 false false 7696 6102 1 2009-11-08T06:35:39-05:00 430 In Photoshop...

Trust me, I've tried to fix this for years. 7379 Post 2008-09-11T08:58:03-04:00 192835 954 2008-09-11T08:58:03-04:00 I used to do all sorts of things to drop file sizes for sending via the web, but seldom have to these days with broadband being pretty much the standard. If ure worried about pageload times unless they are huge most people who count will be able to load them pretty quick anyway, perhaps design so that people know that the link is to a large image so they are prepared to wait for it. With regards to the colour dulling out it might pay to check your profile workflow, if you are working in srgb for web stuff you will pretty much know what you are getting. Web browsers have a pretty low gamut by nature so preview in srgb. As for 'progressive' jpgs, its pretty much recognised as an annoyance nowadays, progressive jpgs were designed to show something loading so the viewer didnt navigate away thinking nothing is loading, but everyone pretty much stopped using progressive jpgs when 28.8 dialup became a thing of the past. 7379 Post 2008-09-11T09:21:54-04:00 192847 7696 2008-09-11T09:21:54-04:00
