Saving as a JPEG

When you save as a JPEG you have three choices at the bottom...baseline, baseline optimized and progressive.

what is the right one to choose?

I'm getting ready to print a ton of books and want to make sure my pages are saved properly.
 
I had never noticed those options before - but I just checked and I must always save as baseline - this is what it selects automatically - and mine have printed out OK so far. I'll be watching this to see what the advice is
 
I've been waiting for somebody to answer this too being that I print all my pages 12x12 and have no idea what is rechecked on my CS5.
 
I googled a bit and I think (I THINK) it refers to how the photo displays online. From what I read - people say to stay away from progressive. I read somewhere else that this person always used the optimized option, but he never explained why.

This site showed a couple examples that made me understand (kinda) what it was all about. Scroll down a little and you'll see it:

And I'm with Jacinda - I just use whatever is default. :)
 
Default for me, too. I've noticed the options, but since my pages were printing fine and looked good onscreen I never bothered to look into what they do.
 
I use baseline. The other two have optimization, which I don't like. It doesn't always default to the same thing, so you actually have to watch it.

Thank you Sherri. I think this is my problem. I think it switched somehow from baseline to progressive. It just caught my eye and I'm fairly certain it was baseline before.
