Greetings everyone.
I’m trying to take pictures of original artwork and optimize them for a website. The medium the artist uses is a bark-paper that has edges which I can only describe as similar to the egde of a hole in jeans after they have been washed a few times. Because of these edges I can’t have a solid background.
I’ve removed the existing background to a transparency and use the ‘save for web’ option. Obviously I want them to be jpeg’s, and am trying to get them to the <20k range, but this is where I encounter problems. I’ve tried the ‘matte’ (matching the matte color to the web page color) option, as well as using the web page color as a background on a different layer but I always end up with a halo effect. My guess is that the matte and/or background layer quality is being lost in the optimization process…
Can someone point me in the right direction or am I just sol?
Thanks folks.
