Using Save For Web
The process of making an image look as good as possible at the smallest i le size is called
optimizing. This is important for all images that will be used on the Web, since most
viewers don't want to wait long for information to appear.
In this part of the lesson, you'll use the Save For Web feature to optimize your
navigational banner.
In the previous version of Photoshop, this feature was called “Save for Web & Devices.” With
the removal of the Device Central feature in Photoshop CS6, the name has returned to the
simpler “Save for Web.”
