ICC profile when saving in PS
When saving an image in PSE (for blurb) – am I correct in assuming that the "ICC Profile" box should be checked? Also – which is best – baseline, optimized or progressive? Thanks John

Hi John Make sure that you save as sRGB and as far as the JPG mode is concerned, forget progressive. If you need your images for the web as well, baseline gives the most compatibility, but optimised gives best quality (marginally). I doubt whether or not you would see the difference in print. I usually use tiffs which don’t have any compression but the file sizes are bigger. Robin Sinton

Thanks Robin – I usually use Tiff also. Just not sure what would be best for blurb. Thanks John

John, jpg is a lossy format. If you open and save, open and save several times, you loose bits of resolution with each cycle. Use tif or psd to edit the files to your liking, then save a copy as jpg for the book. Mike
