JPEG Files
JPEG (.jpeg or .jpg) files follow the standards set by the Joint Photography
Experts Group. These files use a variable compression method that is called
lossy compression because of the loss of image quality as you increase the
compression. However, the JPEG compression scheme is extremely good and
you can sometimes compress the file up to 200:1 without severe loss of image
quality. JPEG is consequently a popular format for posting image files on the
Internet for minimum file size and minimum download time.
Interface
When JPEG is the chosen output format, clicking Render or Setup in the
Render Output File dialog on page 5892 displays the JPEG Image Control dialog.
Quality Move the slider to the level of quality you want: the higher the
quality, the larger the file size. In general, files compressed with the slider set
to Best have compression ratios between 5:1 and 15:1.
