Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video Making Internet imagery, part of Photoshop CS6 One-on-One: Intermediate.
When creating images for the web, you have to observe certain rules and best practices.…First, the images can't contain layers or other excess data.…Second, the images have to be physically small, rarely larger than a few…hundred pixels in either dimension. Print size and resolution, by the way, are irrelevant.…Third, you are permitted just three file formats, JPEG, GIF, and PNG.…And fourth, if you want your colors to survive with any degree of accuracy, the…color space has to be set to sRGB.…
Fortunately, the Save for Web command takes care of most of these issues for you.…It flattens the file, removes the excess, keeps copyright, and other important…metadata, directs you to the proper formats, and converts the image to sRGB.…All you have to do is scale the image, which is oftentimes better performed…before choosing the Save for Web command.…I demonstrate each and every step in the process as well as provide guidance…for which file format to use when in the following movies.…
