So What's the Problem?
The image in the left column was prepared for the Internet using the Save For Web dialog found in Adobe Photoshop Elements.
The image in the center column was also prepared for the Internet using the Save For Web dialog, utilizing a valid Internet file type, though one not recommended for photographs.
If you scroll to the bottom of the page you'll find a much larger version of this same image that was once again prepared for the Internet using the Save For Web dialog. It too resulted from settings found in the software's dialog box.
So what's the difference? The original hi-res image from which all of these versions were generated is a 4" x 4" image (seen printed in chapter 12), the same size as the one in the far left column. While the image in the center retained the correct dimensions, the image quality is terrible! What used to be smooth skin tones look like a skin disorder. The image below retained the smooth skin tones but has ballooned in size and lost its sharpness.
How then did these three very different result from the very same original? The answer is found in chapter 12.
