Question

Blurry Photos when ever I save them

Hello, my name is Morgan I have a quick question. For work I have to make power points where I typically create content or edit the content in Photoshop. I have noticed that the photos when I save them become blurry or not as crisp. What do you think I can do to fix the issue? I have tried resizing and everything but I feel like its an issue from opening a PDF or a saved image then saving it back to a jpg?

THank yoU!

Resize down to fit whatever screen resolution it will be seen on. A standard HD screen is 1920 x 1080 pixels. Ignore physical size or ppi, that doesn't apply on screen.

Then give it a touch of sharpening at final size, just to make it pop. The ACR filter is good for this.

Jpeg will be fine if saved once. Avoid resaving as jpeg.

JPEG will compress image data everytime you save it, that can be a reason. Image can loose quality when applying strong compression, especially multiple times. Another thing to check is image dimensions. Image can be blurry if you are heavily enlarging image in power point due to smaller dimensions.

Will saving the image as a BMP or Tiff be better than JPG? Is there anything else to do to get rid of this problem?

Thank you

When I get a PDF or JPEG I will right click save as to a folder on my computer when I go into photoshop I click "OPEN" some times I will adjust the photo to fit the Powerpoint standard screen by adjusting the images size(but I do not do this all the time). I click file save as JPEG when I am exporting the photo


So you are getting images from someone else. Have you checked quality of images or you have problem after saving from Photoshop. I do not see anything wrong in saving dialog, you are actually saving with maximum quality.

May I ask you why you are even opening JPEG files in Photoshop if you are not changing dimensions

(but I do not do this all the time)

I cannot give you more helpful answer without to see images which you are receiving: what are dimensions and quality of that images and what dimensions you need for PowerPoint. In Photoshop you are not making any mistake based on screenshot you posted.
