Save for web will do the trick
Use optimize for file size of 150.

save for web, not save as.
With save as you'll probably have to reduce the quality to around 7 and choose optimized.

On the toolbar select "Image" then "Image Size" and change it to resolution 72 pixels/inch and adjust the Pixel Dimensions Width and Height (longest one to the max of 640 that DCP allows, the other will automatically change in proportion)and tick Constrain Proportions. This gives me a file about 77 to 90 kb
Edit: When I save I use Quality 8 to save or as mentioned you can use "Save for Web" which compresses the file a bit.

They allow you 150kb use it.
see my post above and take the few minutes to read the tutorial. It is really helpful.

Ahem, just for your information, pixels/inch has nothing to do with sizes until you print...

Thanks... my new adobe has different things and is slightly different than that editorial but.... WOW - helpful. Also pros.... :) How do you put one pic on the other (like one foggy pic in the back of a big face and then the crisp color person over the whole thing?) Can adobe do this?

Sorry DPC - Typo!
I use 72 out of habit because most screen resolutions are 72 or 96 if I remember correctly and anything higher on a computer monitor is a waste (or so I have been led to believe, any enlightenment would be appreciated).
Prints are a different story and I always use 300. I am not very technical but this always works for me so I just use it out of habit

You can do pretty much anything with editing software. Blending two (or more) images takes practice.
