I can sometimes see a difference between 100% and 80%.
BTW, the Save for Web feature allows up to four (maybe more?) views of the image at different quality percentages, so you can see exactly how the image will look before making the final adjustment. >shel I used save for the web feature in Elements and was unhappy with the results. Which means I'd rather "tool" them myself -- do any reduction myself. I have more control that way over the end quality as there are different reduction schemes and some are a lot better than others. And am pretty familiar doing image manipulation in PaintShop Pro (but not photos, graphic images. I guess one of these days I'll have to break down and get PhotoShop since PSP has no monitor profiling). Though Elements makes pretty good thumbnails. Marnie aka Doe I guess I could get an older version of PS cheap. Or cheaper.
