Wouldn't it be unfair to conceal our small masterpiece from the rest of mankind? Let's save it for Web too!
1. Pull down menu File > Save for Web... A huge dialog window appears. This
dialog lets us optimize image quality / file size ratio visually. It is important to save images at
the smallest file size we can, without sacrificing too much of the image quality, to minimize the download
time of the web page they appear on. It is known as optimizing* the image.
*Optimizing is discussed in detail in the Web chapter.
2. Click on the 2-Up tab over the image preview area. It allows us to compare the original image and its web-optimized copy (screenshot).
3. First of all, let's select an output format. There are 4 options there; the most popular
of them are JPEG and GIF formats*. Well, let it be JPEG at
this time.
*More about graphic
formats
4. Note the size of the optimized file under the preview area. We can reduce it by using the Quality slider (movie).
5. If you think this image is too large for a web publication, click Image Size tab and reduce the target image size (movie).
6. When ready, click Save, choose the destination folder and save the image.
NB If you are saving an optimized copy to our ASAP folder, use a different file name to prevent overwriting of the original image.
