You shouldn't be. A simulacrum is a representation of something else. Like a voodoo doll or a scale model. A simulacrum is an imitation. The preview file is exactly like the would-be exported JPG file. It's the same. Nothing is different.
Not so.
They're not highly reduced, Eric. You are confused.Eric StevensBut it's not the same as the file you would - say - send to a printer.Sandman
It could be, sure. It's an ordinary JPG, and most printer drivers can handle them just fine. Again, you don't know what you're talking about.
I would send my best file to the printer, not a highly reduced JPG.
Only if the original file is a low-res highly compressed JPG, which of course it could be.SandmanEric Stevens
Depends on how you export it. If you export it as a low-res highly compressed JPG, it can use the preview file. Chances are that it doesn't, but it certainly could, since the preview file *is* the current pixel data of the image.
So what happens when you want a high quality TIFF of the same size as the original file? Do you expand by resampling your low-res highly compressed JPG?
