What You Should Know About JPEG Compression
Save For Web won’t change your original image and by using the 2up, 3up and 4up options, you can compare your changes to your original, immediately.
Quality options will let you change the amount of pixels sampled and is set to Bicubic by default.
Quality goes from Maximum, with no visible distortion,
to low, which generally creates a lot of messy areas called artifacts.
Once happy with your picture, you can see a Preview in a web browser and then Save with the option to rename your file something more web friendly.
