JPEG is an alternative to GIF developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group
specifically for photographic images. JPEG supports millions of colors (24-bit).
The JPEG format is best for scanned photographs, images using textures, images
with gradient color transitions, or any images that require more than 256 colors.
JPEG is a lossy format, which means that some image data is discarded when the
image is compressed, reducing the quality of the final file. However, image data
can often be discarded with little or no noticeable difference in quality. The
amount of data discarded during compression is determined by the Quality
setting you choose for the file.
Choose from the following JPEG export options:
•
Image Quality enters the percentage of quality to maintain when exporting
as JPEG. A higher quality setting preserves more image data but yields a
higher file size. A lower quality setting discards more image data but yields
a smaller file size.
•
Progressive JPEG creates an image that downloads as a series of overlays in a
browser, enabling a viewer to see a low-resolution version of the image before it
is fully downloaded.
You can export FreeHand artwork to Photoshop in either the bitmap PSD or
vector EPS format; for more information, see "Photoshop (EPS)" on page 433.
When exporting a multipage FreeHand document, each page creates one PSD
file. You can choose to retain FreeHand layers.
