Save as JPEG - GIMP Beginners' Guide ep121 Video Lecture | A GIMP Guide for Beginners - Design Softwares

hi in this episode of The Beginner's
Guide I will talk about saving as JPEG
which is the most often used file type
now let's go here file save as and
select file type from here we'll scroll
down and find jpg and when we click here
this will automatically change the file
extension here so you can see that now
and also if you don't want to go here
and search for the JPEG you can just
type in any of these three extensions
here find your destination folder and
then click save and now because this
image I didn't plan the image this image
has layers also has a transparency and
JPEG cannot handle transparency or store
layers we need to export this image and
then we get this dialog box click on the
Advanced Options and here are the
options that control the quality also
the file size and some of them for
example this save exif data and this
save XMP data are two competing formats
and I don't know how many of you know
but when you take an image window camera
this image is not just this file it's
not just the image but also contains
other information like the camera model
some settings that you used for example
exposure value date also how many pixels
per inch sometimes even a location so
it's good to know that this information
is there and you can access it of course
you can see it but sometimes if you're
saving this for your personal use the
image maybe you want to keep this and no
although all that information but if you
are uploading to a website or something
maybe you don't want people to know and
maybe you want to turn this off which
will also reduce the file size so this
is what this option does now let's go
here to quality in this slider will
allow you to change the value here of
the quality level and this is very
sensitive when it comes to file size and
I recommend you do some tests let's say
with value of 80 85 90 95 and see a
difference in the quality of the image
and the file size and values between 85
and 95 give you a very good quality but
like i said it's sensitive when it comes
to file size and if you are restricted
you have to let's say upload an image to
some website and you have restricted
file size and you may want to use this
to achieve that now this option show
preview in which window this will open a
ladder window here which will allow you
to see the changes that you make using
these options this will not change the
original image this will just give you a
preview now in Advanced Options optimize
this one will make the file size smaller
but will take more time to produce the
image smoothing sometimes when we are
saving as JPEG the compression creates
artifacts and this will allow you to
reduce them but I recommend using here
if you use this at all use it with very
low values because do a test save an
image with this with 0 and then save it
with one and you see the difference the
image becomes a very blurry and if you
use this use it very carefully now the
next option here progressive with this
option enabled the image chunks are
stored in the file in order that allows
progressive image refinement during a
slow connection web download and also
this will make the file size a little
bit bigger I'll use restart markers
damage Falcon include markers which
allow the image to be loaded as segments
so if your connection is broken while
loading the image in web page loading
can resume from the next marker now next
year subsampling not going to get this
in the
so in a detail I'm just going to tell
you that this one will give you the best
quality and of course the bigger file
size and this one will give you lots of
good quality in the smallest file size
and here the method fast integra will be
faster will give you the worst quality
and Taker will give you a very good
quality a vaulting point will give you
the best quality you can also choose to
save a thumbnail many applications use
small thumbnail image as a quickly
preview of the image so if you want to
you can save a thumbnail you can also
choose to leave a comment here and now
the last one use quality settings from
original image if quality setting was
attached to the image when it was loaded
this option allows you to use them
instead of the standard ones if you have
only made a few changes to the image
then reusing the same quality settings
will give you almost the same quality
and file size as the original image so
this is a good thing to know and also
right now as you can see here this is on
by default but if it's off in it's a
variable that means that the quality
setting found on the original file are
not better than the default settings so
right now these settings are better
that's why we have this on but it was
off you will be using these defaults and
this will be available but it will mean
that the settings are not better than
this so I'm going to include the link in
the description and there you can read a
little bit more about each of these if
you like it's a link to the GIMP user
menu and you can read there a little bit
more additional information about any of
these settings and of course if
something interests you even further you
can always do a little research so
that's it for this tutorial and if you

that's it for now bye
