    crappy quality jpg export

    I cannot get my graphic to export from pshop + look smooth.

    I think that pshop may be acting up, but I just reinstalled it and it's still exporting crappy quality. I'm trying to export my graphic sliced up in a table as jpgs at 100%. Usually, this is the highest quality and it's just looking like a garbage gif.

    Anybody else ever had this problem?

    Maybe I should upload it to see if other people are exporting and getting the same fuzz quality?

    here are the files

    This is a jpg 100% export. What's wrong? I've tried installing and reinstalling Photoshop, I've tried the file on PC and Mac.

    It looks like a low gif quality...I don't know where to begin toubleshooting...

    ;(

    That export is from a psd. I go to File: Save for Web: 4-up + then I choose 100% jpg at the side panel. Usually, this gives me a great high quality web output for static sites...but look at it.

    I've been doing this for years and suddenly it's not working.

    Tried it on PC and MAc.

    attached is the psd.

    I was only trying to save it as a hi-quality jpg because no matter what selection I make for output, it comes out the same: very pixelated and crunchy looking gifs. Of course, the graphic itself should be optimally saved as a gif...

    But I've tried hi-qualite gif, low-q gif, hi-q jpg, png, everything.

    It all ends up exporting the same way for some reason: crappy pixelated and not true to color.

    Very weird. Thanks.

    Question: Have you tried optimizing your image before slicing? I would send the file to Image Ready, delete your image slices, then send back to PShop and optimize for Web. Then reslice your image from the optimized file. I think maybe this will help. There are'nt too many colors, I think saving as PNG8 format will work.

    Good Luck.

    each individual slice is set to 0% quality when saving for web.

    When saving click on each individual slice and change the settings in the right panel

    that should sort it out

    thanks! after all of these years, i didn't know that individual slices had their own optimizations.

    good to know.
