Embedding ICC Profiles in Exported Jpegs Creates Large Files
When exporting a JPEG from Draw, you may have noticed that the image size seems very large compared to when exporting from other programs.
Compare the images below They were exported from Draw with the same compression settings, DPI, and pixel dimensions. Both were pasted into Photo-PAINT from the desktop.
Why was one file 8 times larger than the other one? The "small" one 12% of the size of the equivalent?
Embedded ICC profiles. See the pic below to stop the madness...
Download speed will increase for your web JPEG's, archival space for your files will decrease.
Sounds like a Win–Win to me. :-D
Note: When exporting JPEG's from DRAW, in many cases you'll want to apply the ICC profile. This is much different than embedding into the file itself. just check the box in the JPEG export dialog for this.
