Quick Tips

There is an enormous difference between web graphics and print graphics. Basically it comes down to the fact that images made for print are GIGANTIC compared to images made for use on the web. Remember this!

One of the most important things when trying to create good photos of your products is to understand your camera. There's no way around it...unfortunately you really do need to read that boring manual if you want quality images.

When saving an image for use on the web, click on File-->Export-->JPEG Optimizer. For most photos set the compression value to 10-15, and click OK.
