Photoner uploads must be stripped of EXIF data. "Save for Web" does
this quickly and efficiently while allowing various levels of
compression. For those of us who use Photonet, it's a useful tool.

Nice work, despite the burn on the shell.
The Save For Web dialog loads in a geological timescale though, but
that may be related to the system itself starting to get a little
short on memory...
I don't really understand using the "Save for Web" application. Seems
to me to add a lot of needless complication. When making a web-rez
image, I
- set view to 100%,
- downsample to the appropriate pixel size I want,
- convert to sRGB profile,
- convert pixel depth to 8bit,
- run a light USM pass to snap back the lost apparent sharpness,
- Save As to a JPEG file at quality #6 including the ICC profile.
I have all this in a one-button action in Photoshop. If I need to
strip EXIF info, I do that as a separate action.
I understand that the ImageReady application can do a lot of things
that might be interesting or useful for commercial website
development, but for prepping images for my personal gallery and such
it seems way overkill.
