I normally use PS Elements 2.0, but have recently been experimenting with Photoshop CS. My problem is that when I resize to 640 and try to keep it at 150KB, my quality sometimes has to be below 70. I tried using 620 instead of 640, and it helped some, but I like using the full size and 80+ quality. It seems I read something about this once, but I can't find it and didn't pay close attention because I was not having this problem at the time! Anyone remember that thread or have a solution?

No interest this morning...how about now? Anyone notice a difference in file size after pp in cs vs elements?

When resizing I use save for web which seems to optimize more than the save as with the optimized box ticked. One thing I noticed between Elements 2.0 and CS is that in CS2 you can choose a sharpening algorithm to apply whereas in Elements you can't (at least not that I could find).

If you're using CS, you should be using the "save for web" option, which is tailor made for what you need in prepping an image for DPC upload. It has a feature which allows you to select the final file size and then it does everything it can, including stripping EXIF info, to max the quality for that file size.
