StudioPopJess Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Where can I find a artice regarding saving jpegs and what size they should be..
Damien Symonds Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Well, there's no single answer or article for that. All jpegs must be saved for a specific purpose. It might be printing, or web posting, or selling to a client, or archiving, or sending to a graphic designer, or whatever. So, can you tell me the purpose for which you are saving your jpegs today?

Damien Symonds Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 Sorry, I need more information so I can help you properly. When you say "printing", can you tell me your process? Are you sending files directly to the lab yourself?
StudioPopJess Posted June 12, 2019 Author Posted June 12, 2019 if you are supplying clients the image for them to print.. I crop to 11x15.... I thought you said a size to save to

Damien Symonds Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Terrific. So, when you're saving those files for the clients, I recommend choosing Level 10 quality (on the 0-12 scale).
StudioPopJess Posted June 12, 2019 Author Posted June 12, 2019 that's what I thought.. but did you have a article I can share with my friend? she thinks the file has to show a higher number of megabytes for it to be good.
Damien Symonds Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Well, here's the irony. The truth is that bigger megabytes usually means it's a BAD file. Because noisy files are bigger, you see. Lovely clean files are smaller. https://www.damiensymonds.net/2015/08/about-jpeg-file-size.html
