That's where the "progressive" comes from. I always save jpegs as Baseline Optimized but the "progressive" alternative is in that menu. Good luck. Jim Jim Garvie www.jagphoto.biz

Jim Garvie Addict Joined: Mar 2005 Florida	Peggy Sue, this is straight from CS3 Help: Quote: Progressive Displays the image progressively in a web browser. The image appears as a series of overlays, enabling viewers to see a low-resolution version of the image before it downloads completely. The Progressive option requires use of the Optimized JPEG format. Note: Progressive JPEGs require more RAM for viewing and are not supported by some browsers. Hope that helps, Jim Jim Garvie www.jagphoto.biz

Peggy Sue OP Pooh-Bah Joined: Apr 2006 Illinois	Thanks again. It continues to show me that we have a complicated system that continues to amaze me. After all these years it is either the loss of memory (in me) or lack of something else I cannot remember! Off to enter the competition...... Peggy Sue

Peggysue, Here is a link to an explanation of the progressive jpeg http://www.faqs.org/faqs/jpeg-faq/part1/section-11.html I'm sure you've seen where a web page will first display a very low res version of an image and then as time goes on it will get better. This is especially true with a dialup connection. Geo Some of my best http://www.lamsonweb.com/Galleries/Photography http://lamson.zenfolio.com/
