Hi,
I've noticed this in the past, but never as dramatically as in a recent project - how large the jpegs are when exported from art rage, as opposed to saving a jpeg in photoshop.

The other day, I worked on a large file 135megs - (300 dpi, over 30 layers) in Artrage, (back and forth to photoshop) When I exported it as a jpeg it is over 13 megabytes. I didn't think, I just sent them to my client. When she opened them up in photoshop, did a little color adjusting, and resaved as a jpeg (no compression) they came out under 3 megabytes. This alarmed her, that somehow she had changed the size or the resolution.

In the future, I guess I'll open the jpegs in photoshop but I was just curious why the difference. Isn't a jpeg a jpeg, or is there a difference in how art rage and photoshop makes jpegs.

Thanks,
Elaine
