I created a collage type image in CS3 . It had 4 layers with a tiff size of 60mbs. as a psd file it was about 20mb. when i saved it as a jpeg it shrunk to below 1 mb. I can’t print the jpeg larger than larger than a 5 x 7. what am i doing wrong? why would the jpeg shrink so much? Did not experience this in cs2.

What is important is the h x w in pixels of the image. This determines how big you can print your image based on a standard of 200-320 ppi for most photographs. What is your image dimensions in pixels.

Jpeg’s use a lossy compression method which you set the compression level before you save (also more destructive to the image).
Oh, and they don’t support layers.
