jpeg, tiff, gif ??
Is there a preferred image format for posting on the web? Usually I use jpeg but Adobe CS2 post for the web window preselects gif. It can be changed to jpeg for each image.
For publishing booklets the print shop I use prefers Tiff. Just wondering here in Kingston Wa on a nice sunny day. __________________ Happy Hammering, wear safety glasses. Gene Chapman Oak and Iron Publishing www.oakandiron.com/ |

This is helpful to learn more about them:
http://www.siriusweb.com/tutorials/gifvsjpg/ TIFF is cumbersome and file heavy. Photoshop PSD files are a derivative. The purists will use it to print by, but I dare you to show me any difference with a JPG at very little compression. I save my PSD files only until I and my client are satisfied with the results, then I save as a JPG and delete the rest. Who did I offend....? Coop |

.gif files are used for flat images with very little or no color shading. Things like the smilies here on the forums...
.jpg is probably the best for web display of photos. .tiff is a lossless file format, meaning that no information is lost when the file is re-saved. .jpg is a lossy format, which means that each time you save a .jpg, some of the information about the image is thrown away in the interest of reducing the file size. If you're going to be doing a lot of editing of the image, keep it in .tiff or PSD until you are ready for the final save, then save to .jpg. |
