jpeg

In my instructions from Paul, the uploaded files need to be JPEG. Photoshop gives me a number of options in saving the shot to JPEG. I can't seem to find a handy reference to the ramifications of these options or what the appropriate JPEG settings for uploading.

.jpg not .jpeg

Paul, I'm curious, do you know what .jpeg was supposed to be fore?
I always saw that option for saving and never knew what the dif was between jpg and jpeg so I just always saved to jpg

G'day digitalcam.

Are you shooting RAW?

If you're shooting RAW and using Photoshop, Photoshop doesn't automatically realise you want to save as JPG or use the images online.

You may find your images are still 12 or 16 bit, and cannot be saved as a JPG file whilst in this mode.

As one of your final steps in your digital workflow, make sure you do the following 2 steps. Modify your images as needed, and after sharpening, head to the menu bar and select 'Image' 'Mode', ensure your image is set to 'RGB' mode and then again select 'Image' 'Mode' and then select '8 bits /channel'.

This will then bring up the option to save as JPG in the Save, Save As and Save for Web menu.


Hi Ruth. I might be able to answer that.

JPEG (short for Joint Photographic Experts Group - the guys that invented it) is the original (lossy) file format adopted by most of the world as the standard for good image quality that could be posted (easily and efficiently) to web. JPEG I believe was shortened to JPG to conform with standard DOS/Windows 3 character extensions. It's essentially the same thing.
