    Images created in Photoshop for use on the internet should be

    • As big as possible

    • Bigger than you intend to use them

    • The smallest file size they can be without losing quality

    • Smaller than you intend to use them

    Correct Answer
    A. The smallest file size they can be without losing quality
    Explanation
    When creating images in Photoshop for use on the internet, it is important to optimize the file size without compromising the quality. This is because larger file sizes take longer to load, which can result in a poor user experience. By reducing the file size to the smallest possible without losing quality, the image will load quickly and efficiently on the internet while still maintaining its visual integrity.

This stacking of images on top of each other provides flexibility and control in creating complex compositions and designs.
