Hi there

I want to enter a competition and the entry is by email. The photo must be between 3 -5 Mb, how do I achieve this assuming I have already taken the pic.

Many thanks for any help

I guess that all depends on what size the photo is already.

Indeed it does depend on what the original s like. What are the dimensions, in pixels, of the photo you want to submit (cropped as you would submit it)?

Well, duh! I have just checked 'properties' and found that it is just over 3Mb, sorry for being such an idiot!!
cheers and thanks

Heh, you're golden. For future reference, if you need to get the file size up (a kinda funny requirement, but it comes up often) try:

- Saving as a TIFF, uncompressed.
- Re-saving and selecting the very highest JPEG quality.

The TIFF file will pretty much always be larger.
