jpg compression

just set jpeg compression in photoshop between 8-10 during save

I think most photoshop users already knew this.

It's high compression that kills JPEG image quality.

yes the high compression means its worse quality.

NO compression is the desired setting

Actually, lossless compression is desired.

Hooray for PNG.

Thanks for the correction advent. The high compression gives low quality.

he was talking about in photoshop, though. 8-10 isn't the amount of compression, it's the quality setting.

If you are that concerned about filesize, use png and pngcrush: http://pmt.sourceforge.net/pngcrush/

In Photoshop, you should use "Save for Web" so you can be more precise with the compression vs. image quality ratio. Never use "Save As" for Jpegs because you can't preview the output.

And if your image has large areas of flat colors, use PNG instead. A 400k Jpeg can be as low as 40k with Png, with nearly lossles quality.
