Saving Your Image as a JPEG file

To make your image usable on a web page, we must save it in either GIF or JPEG format. We will do both -- JPEG first:

Select "Save As" from the file menu.
Use the dialog box that appears to navigate your way into the "graphics" folder you created under your file server account.
Enter "butterfly.jpeg" as the image name.
Use the "Format" menu at the bottom of the dialog box to change from the "Photoshop" format to JPEG". As you do this note that the "Compuserve GIF" option is not available at this point.
Click Save. A dialog box appears asking how much quality you are willing to sacrifice for image compression. If you were doing this "for real" you might want to save the image several times with different quality selections and compare the sizes of the files produced and the visual quality of the results. For now, select "High" quality (6 or 7), "baseline (standard)" and then click "OK".
