Michael I did a quick test by saving a PSD file as a JPEG at full quality, closing it for good measure. Opening it, duping it, running Brian's script on it and then saving it as a full quality JPEG. Closing again for good measure and opening it. Shift-dragging it into the original JPEG and comparing. I found values had changed by 1-3 levels, even though the file was saved by Photoshop and at full quality both times. If I saved another file in between the two JPEG saves, Photoshop showed the JPEG Options dialog set to it's settings and not the settings used to save the PSD as a JPEG, which, if the rumours were true, it should have shown for you to accept. Frankly, a change of 1 or 2 levels here and there among millions of pixels is not going to be noticed on screen or show in print. You would have to view the two files, I reckon, at something like 4-800% magnification in Photoshop to see it, and then only if you toggle the visibility between the two versions. And I seriously doubt if you could spot the difference by using a loop on a print - unless you print it on clear acetate, superimpose the two in pin register and view over a lightbox! <g> Shangara Singh. ________________________________________________ :: Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) Photoshop CS :: Photoshop CS Essential Tips || Photoshop Glossary (eBooks) :: Examaids for Adobe & Macromedia Certification :: http://www.photoshopace.com || http://www.examaids.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
