Adobe Photoshop - Revisiting a previous jpg preview question
Expert: Kevin Stohlmeyer - 10/24/2009
Question
previous question from Chris <Hi, I have a new Mac and new Photoshop CS3. When I save JPEGs, they have a .jpg file extension, but show up as a different "kind" of file, and have very
poor-quality previews. The overall file size also seems to be greatly reduced,
though I can't compare it to saving a regular jpg... >
I was having the same problem even with saving at the maximum image quality. (note: this is previewing them in the finder window) I was able to take the photos into Bridge and resave them in camera raw and the previews looked beautiful. It would be nice not to have to take that extra step. Any new ideas as to why this happens or what can be done.
Answer
Hi Michelle,
Previews are previews and you should not judge your file based on these. Changing a jpg to a camera raw may give you a great preview, but it is still a jpg file and there are cons about changing your overall file this way just so you can have a nice preview.
If you don't mind me asking why are high quality previews so important? What are you using these for?
Kevin
