JPG Compression and File Size

For this assignment, the goal was become exposed to filters in Photoshop. I selected a selfie, put the cutout filter on it, and adjusted the quality of the three different JPGs. The difference between quality and file size is that quality effects the image aesthetics (high or low) in color. File size relates to how much space a file takes.

Quality 100

When making the jpg quality 100, it makes the quality better, even though the quality of jpgs in general are undesired.

File size:  33KB

Quality 60

When changing the jpg quality from 100 to 60, it compresses the image more making the image have less quality.

File size: 33KB

Quality 0

When changing the jpg quality from 60 to 0, you can really see the quality diminish. It has compressed the so much and its clearly visible without even zooming in.
