Aaron:


The problems with Save for Web are that (1) it converts the image from
16-bit to 8-bit and (2) it only allows images to be save as JPEG.

There are times when I wish to save the image in high quality and then share
it with someone else. I don't want to have the image converted to a JPEG
file as the quality will not be the same.

I have used Save for Web a few times but have had some unexpected results
(they may very well have been caused by some obvious aspect of this image
conversion process that I am failing to identify) such as colors shifting
significantly (last image I tried to save using the Save for Web function
had a beautiful blue sky that was converted to violet when saved as JPEG).

Any ideas ?

Thank you for your input and suggestions.

Best regards,

Joseph Chamberlain
