As an experiment at work I decided to work on just the one image when "saving for web" and found that I really don't need to do the spot comparisons between images after all. What's more important is the ability to change the quality of a jpeg with minimum faff. It turns out that PS's "save for web" has a couple of flaws in this regard: 1) No adjustment is made until *after* the slider has been released. This means that I can't just drag the slider up and down the scale to watch how the image quality changes. This wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for 2). 2) The slider's really small! It's easy to lose the slider after I've released it, especially as my attention is on the image, not the slider. Basically I just want a way to assess the quality of an image at different compression ratios quickly. One idea that appeals to me is to have a row of 10 images all compressed at 10% intervals. Then I could just click the best of those. This would probably be good enough for most cases. If it isn't, I could have an additional step: click two adjacent images (e.g. 70% and 80%) to reveal another row of 10 images, this time compressed at 1% intervals between 70% and 80%. --- Scanned by M+ Guardian Messaging Firewall --- _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
