    Photo Question

    Hey folks! I'm feeling out of date and out of touch. My photo processing process is horribly behind the times, and I'm relearning a bunch of stuff.

    For those of you who process photos to post online, do you use "Save as" in photoshop to make a jpg, or do you use the "Save for Web" option? And if you do the save to web, what quality level do you use for the big members area high quality photos? Just trying to find what an industry standard is these days for photo kb size and whatnot. Any help is much appreciated!

              I usually save at about a 8-9.

              And I usually don't use the "web" option simply because it takes longer. I'm sure I could get smaller files if I did.

                  YARGH! Make an action. Run it in batch mode.

                              Aye aye, Cap'n Chio. I just want to make sure I have the actions right before I apply them to 80 photos.

                              K that one above is a hybrid. I saved at 90% in the Save to Web funtion, then resized and rotated in ACDSee and threw it online. It's about 95kb.

                                  i do that sometimes or i save for web and the files are significantly smaller. batching saves you some time though, especially if you have a whole lot of pictures in a set. =)

                                          I use "Save for Web" option because it gives more advanced options...

So if you are saving at like 150-300dpi (which is for print) it doesn't display any better than a 72 dpi image would on the web, so all that extra file size would be for nothing.

                                                                                              Pictures look great, as usual!

But if you have done a lot of touch up work to the photo, then the higher the % the better.

I've been able to fix my old masters up so they look even better than when I first posted them. Nowadays I keep my RAWs, my retouched but still original size, and then the two sizes and the watermarked version.

                                                                                                                              Thanks for the 50% tip, I hadn't thought of that. Woot! Cheers!

                                                                                                                                  Smoking hot.

                                                                                                                                  I'm guessing you've already got a speedlight on the camera to get it looking that good. If you shoot a lot in a place where you can set it up (home studio, etc), external flash kit with the big umbrella lights pays for itself.

                                                                                                                                  If you're working with a Nikon, you can also setup multiple speed lights in a master/slave setup and have them spread around the room. Two plus the built in flash on the camera makes a hell of a difference.

I personally own a Nikon D70 with the SB800 speedlight, and I have a couple hotlights on stands. However this photog who has been very kind to shoot for me has a Canon and uses kinoflo lights, and for some reason all his pictures come out very contrasty and dark. He doesn't use the flash at all. I haven't figured out what's going wrong, and neither has he.

                                                                                                                                          when shooting raw and then correcting the raw save the correction as a "tif" file. this become your new digital "negative". resaving the raw file as a jpg starts losing quality pretty fast in successive resaves.

                                                                                                                                          when putting images on the web, crop extraneous image area which adds nothing to the shot to save file size, then resize the pix at the image size you want for presentation, today's surfer can handle about 120-150kb per image which gives a high quality shot. always "save for web" as this optimizes for 72 and give lowest file size/best image quality compromise.

                                                                                                                                          although these shots are not lit properly too much light is just as bad as too little. the majority of shooters use too much light. use a gray card and expose on that and check camera histogram to see if you are blowing out highlights.

                                                                                                                                          throw away the on camera flash, it is for shooting puppies, not glamour girls.

The web can only display 72 dpi images anyway. So if you are saving at like 150-300dpi (which is for print) it doesn't display any better than a 72 dpi image would on the web, so all that extra file size would be for nothing.
                                                                                                                                              That's just what I was going to say. Save for web is the right one
