    How to save an image as jpeg without losing its quality
    Hello!

    I need help on how to save an image (as jpg or gif) without losing its
    Quality. I am using Paint Shop Pro 7 and I tried to blend two images
    Together after applying the "feather" effect.

    But once I try to save it as jpg even after applying the lowest
    Compression for best quality, it's still not that great. Is there a way
    To save it where it preserves the quality especially on the blending
    Part of the image??

    I'd appreciate any help. Thank you!

    Don't save it as .jpg

    ... save it as .bmp

    JPGs use a lossy compression format, this means that information is lost forever. So if you compress a picture to 90% and it looks bad, you can't just resave it with full quality and expect it to look good again.

    GIFs are based on only 256 colorsso complicted pictures will be of low quality

    If you can't use BMPs due to the large file size, see if PNGs are available... its like a GIFs, which also allows animation, but uses the 24-bit color (which is 16,777,216 colors rather than just 256).
