I am processing an image and it is to my liking in photoshop so I save it as a jpeg and when I open the jpeg in preview it looks like it has lost a lot of sharpness compared to my photoshop view. What is going on?


Photography is like a drug and I think I need an intervention.

It's most likely the viewing software you're using. Load the image in photoshop, view it at 100%, see if it's sharp. If it's sharp there, but not in the other software, you've found the problem.

Also make sure you're using "save as" at Q8 + or "save for web" at high or better.

You are right. It even looks better when I view it in my photobucket on the web.

I always save at Q12

Q12 is almost pointless. I save at Q10 for 50" prints. I save at Q9 for customers.

But it doesn't hurt

No, it doesn't. Not unless you need extra DVDs, or it takes more time to send to the lab. Still, no real harm.
