If I was going to send jpegs out to be printed I would save them specifically for that printer. On my printer I use 16 bit .psd files to print from. The printer driver converts to 8 bit and the printers color space. To me a jpeg is a final image, just like a print, I do nothing more with it, period. I keep wondering why folks want to make more needless work for themselves? Nothing else to do with their time?

Marnie, you asked what 'save for web' does. As I understand it, it strips all extraneous information from the file and converts it to a 72 bpi, 8 bit, sRGB image file then saves at the compression settings you have set, or the default ones if you have not set them yourself.

Hmmm, good pt. I sometimes print from JPEG. So what does Save for Web do exactly? As constrasted to just saving as a JPEG?
I know someone mentioned one thing, but what are the other things?

Excuse me, not very articulate -- tired -- just got through cooking 3 varieties of cookies, about 4 dozen each variety, as Xmas gifts four our neighbors.

I am seriously thinking of skipping this next year. Maybe skipping Xmas entirely. Maybe finding some place to go that has never heard of Xmas.
TIA, Marnie ;-)
