up menu, and click OK.
2 In the Save Optimized As dialog box, type a
filename, and click Save.
Setting optimization options for JPEG
format
JPEG is the standard format for compressing
continuous-tone images such as photographs.
(See “About JPEG format” on page 208.)
Optimization options for JPEG format
A. Optimization format B. Compression Quality
pop-up menu C. Compression Quality slider
To optimize an image in JPEG format:
1 Choose JPEG for the optimization format.
2 To create an enhanced JPEG with a slightly
smaller file size, select Optimized. The Optimized
JPEG format is recommended for maximum file
compression; however, some older browsers do
not support this feature.
3 Do one of the following to specify the
compression level:
• Choose an option from the Quality
pop-up menu.
• Drag the Quality pop-up slider. (See “Using
pop-up sliders” on page 16.)
• Enter a value between 0 and 100 in the Quality
text box.
The higher the Quality setting, the more detail is
preserved in the optimized image. However, a high
Quality setting results in a larger file size than a low
Quality setting. View the optimized image at
several quality settings to determine the best
balance of quality and file size.
