Save JPEGs as PSDs to preserve quality (Photoshop CS/CS2/CS3/CS4)

If you start with a JPEG image, perhaps from a digital camera, and alter it, don't save it again as a JPEG; you'll lose image quality every time you re-save an image in JPEG format. Instead, save the altered image as a PSD file and make a JPEG copy if you need to post the image to the web, for example. In the meantime, you'll have a good copy of your altered image in PSD format for use in other applications, such as for printing photos or using them in a printed brochure.

Blog Update

Hi all,

We've added a new section to this blog. Take a look at the side nav of this page, you'll see "ONGOING COMPETITIONS".

Basically, it shows the links of the competitions our ICC members are taking part in. Links which have the asterisk are those that are supported by Infocomm Development Authority as part of its National Infocomm Competition (NIC) whereby each competition that schools participate in and win awards will gain points. At the end of the year, the points are accumulated to determine the overall champion school.

So keep yourselves updated by checking the official website of the competitions that you are involved in!
