5. Over compressing an image. While compressing an image is not overly
complicated, obtaining an eye for a properly compressed image takes a
little experience. What initially may look good to a designer one day, may
look overly compressed the next. When a JPG is overly compressed (see
Figure 7.33) from its original state (Figure 7.34), the image loses its
crispness.
