I pride myself in producing high quality photographs. It is difficult to represent the quality of a fine printed image, on a monitor. Each image has to be checked on different monitors, and different platforms and browsers, modified until the proper affect is reached.

Here I am testing a photograph of Stadium High School in Tacoma Washington, to see how compressed I can get the file without losing image quality. All 4 shots have become become somewhat blurry, when compared to the same images viewed without a browser. But the real surprise is how similar the results are. I see very little difference between them, until you look at the load times. The MAXIMUM QUALITY IMAGE TAKES 32.12 SECONDS to load on a 14.4 modem, while the LOWEST QUALITY IMAGE TAKES 5.46 SECONDS to load on a 14.4 modem. Using the quicker image would mean the difference between keeping and losing a visitor.
