dumb question about WHCC - PhotoCamel

k9ofkaos · 12-08-2007

I've gotten my test prints from them and liked them a lot. I understand that for printing purposes that a high quality jpeg will print as good as the master tiff, but why do they require you send level 10 jpegs when photoshop will save them as level 12 jpegs. Not a big deal really, curiosity just has the best of me.

I can only make a guess, and that would be to reduce bandwidth.

thanks,
Danny

Do they say they want level 10 jpgs from Photoshop? Or do they just say level 10? I would think that they don't really care and can't tell, but if one uses a program other than photoshop, it probably uses a 1-10 scale or 1-100% scale.

Because there is absolutely no visible difference in the print output at a 10 vs. 12 and thus it is a faster easier upload with the same quality at the output device.

They also do not want you to use a progressive scan when you save, though I'm not sure what all the PS features actually do to the file itself.

There IS a difference in 10 and 12 when printed. Only 99% of the people looking can NEVER actually see the difference. But it is there. It has to be.
