[QUOTE="hark, post: 253124, member: 13196"] Between the two photos I posted initially, Waterfalls 2 is the original photo and Waterfalls 1 is the compressed photo. The only difference I can see on my monitor (which is 4 years old) is the compressed photo has a little more contrast. When I first created the drama poster for the school, I used PowerPoint. Apparently the default to save jepgs in PowerPoint is with a resolution of 96dpi. The only way to change it is to go into the registry which I don't want to do. So I tried saving the poster as a PDF which is supposed to yield the best image quality. After opening the PDF with PSE10 and enlarging it 100%, I could tell the poster wasn't sharp at all--and this was before even doing any compression with Caesium. So I built a collage in PSE10 from scratch. I can't use the templates in PSE10 because they aren't sized large enough (I want 20"x30"). So I started with a background layer and added 20 photos varying in size from 4"x4" up to 6"x6" along with some 4"x6". Then I added a beveled edge and drop shadow to each photo. So far I haven't added the text, but as of right now, when saving it as a jpeg, the file is 31.5MB. I took the jpeg into Caesium just to see what it would do. WOW!!! I compressed it while retaining 80% of the quality, and the overall file size dropped to between 5-6MB. So I compressed the original file again this time at 90% of the quality and wound up with a file between 9-10MB. Both attempts yielded excellent image results! Both of the compressed PSE10 files are WAY better looking compared with the uncompressed PowerPoint file I tried initially. I still have to add text, but I don't think there will be any problem with it. For anyone who will be creating posters and wants a small enough file to email, you should check out Caesium! :) [/QUOTE]
