96 Project 1: Composite Movie AdSave a JPEG File for Digital MediaYour client has also requested a low-resolution JPEG file, using the RGB color model. Several extra steps are required to create this file with the required settings. 1. With aftermath.psd open in Photoshop, choose File>Save a Copy. To protect your work, you are saving this file with a different file name before making significant destructive changes. 2. Choose JPEG in the Format/Save as Type menu. Change the file name to aftermath-web.jpg, and then click Save.JPEG files do not support multiple layers. When you choose the JPEG format, the Layers option is automatically unchecked, and the As a Copy option is automatically activated.3. In the JPEG Options dialog box, choose High in the Quality menu and then click OK.You can use these options to reduce the weight (size) of the resulting JPEG file. Keep in mind that JPEG is a lossy compression scheme, so the application throws away what it perceives as redundant data to reduce the file weight. Lower quality settings mean more compression and smaller file weight (and thus, shorter download time), but you might notice significant deterioration in image quality.The right side of the dialog box shows the estimated file size %u2014 in this case, just over 1%u00a0megabyte.4. Close the aftermath.psd file.Remember, when the As a Copy option is checked, the file you were working on before saving remains active in the document window. You need to manually open the JPEG file so you can make the necessary changes for web distribution.5. Open aftermath-web.jpg from your WIP>Movie folder.
