JPEG Compression (2 of 4)

Photoshop allows you to compare up to three variations of the file before saving.

  • In the figure below, the original file is shown in the top left corner.
  • The top right corner will have a file size of only 4k, but the quality is not acceptable.
  • The bottom right corner has excellent quality, but the file size of 52k is too large.
  • The bottom left corner balances acceptable quality with adequate file size. You can see that it is about 9k and will take approximately 4 seconds for a user on a 28.8k dial-up Internet connection to download this image.
