Save for Web

Save for Web

You should be well aware of the “Save For Web” feature found in the File menu of Photoshop, however, it is always good to get a reminder of the basics. Jpegs should be kept to photos or “busy” images with many colours. GIFs and PNGs should be kept for less complicated files, such as line work, logos and images that need transparency. If you are unsure of what will be the best optimisation, ensure you use the ‘2 Up’ or ‘4 Up’ options to make direct comparisons. Click on each variation and then change the settings to view the comparisons. Ensure you zoom into to see exactly what is happening to your images.
