can use the Save As command to save CMYK, RGB, and grayscale images
in JPEG format. JPEG compresses file size by selectively discarding
data. You can also save an image as one or more JPEG using the Save
For Web &amp; Devices command. </p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:  </span>JPEG is only available
when the image is 8 Bits/Channel (it only supports 8 Bit/Channel).</div>
<div class="tip"><img src="images/tip_help.png" />To quickly save a medium-quality JPEG, play the
Save As JPEG Medium action on the file. You can access this action
by choosing Production from the Actions panel menu. </div></div>

the image&#160;quality. Choose an option from the Quality menu,
drag the Quality pop‑up slider, or enter a value between 0 and 12

<dd>Specifies
the format of your JPEG file. Baseline (“Standard”) uses a format
recognized by most web browsers. Baseline Optimized creates a file with
optimized color and a slightly smaller file size. Progressive displays
a series of increasingly detailed versions of the image (you specify
how many) as it downloads.<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:  </span>Not all web browsers support
optimized and Progressive JPEG images. </div>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:  </span>Some applications
may not be able to read a CMYK file saved in JPEG format. In addition,
if you find that a Java application can’t read your JPEG file (in
any color mode), try saving the file without a thumbnail preview.</div>
