16bit is doable, the lower resolution is the kicker for save for web.
Why should I make more work for myself when my current workflow handles
all my output needs (I use Flickr, which handles creating the smaller
rez images on display on flickr). This way I simply trigger the action
when I'm done and I get a jpeg suitable for upload as well as printing
on one of my printers (I have two, one dedicated to B&W, the other can
handle both, I use a lab for prints beyond letter sized) and a PSD with
layers in 16bit for archiving, potential further editing (usually to
B&W) and other use.

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 ;-)
