Optimize JPEGs

Using the Optimize panel, you can optimize JPEGs by setting compression and smoothing options.

JPEGs are always saved and exported in 24-bit color, so you can't optimize a JPEG by editing its color palette. The color table is empty when a JPEG image is selected.

As you experiment with different optimization settings, use the 2-Up and 4-Up buttons to test and compare a JPEG file's appearance and estimated file size.

• Adjust JPEG quality
• Selectively compress areas of a JPEG
• Blur or sharpen JPEG detail
• Create a progressive JPEG image
