thanks for that link....BUT, I'm using PSP X2.....and it usually ends up around 60-70K. I do not have an option (that I'm aware of) to select the file size as 150K. I do, do all of the other things mentioned in the article. |

| I'm not familiar with PSP, does it have a 'Save for web' option? I think most software has that, or something very similar. That should be where it has, if any, ways to control size/quality. |

| When I was using MS Digital Image Pro I had to play with jpg quality % levels until I got a file as close as possible to 150KB without going over. |

I just found that it has "Save for Office". There it lets you select a size in inches or pixels. Saving it in the highest quality (300 dpi) still yeilds low K numbers.
Looks like I just need to play around with it.

I 'think' this is what you are looking for.
FILE > Export > JPEG Optimizer
Manually set compression factor to maximize the compressed size output of the file.
(Edit: lower compression factor = better quality/larger file size.)

Easiest way is to use the JPEG Optimizer. It's available two ways:
1) File/Export/JPEG Optimizer - then change the compression value number. The file size will be displayed under the right image preview window, listed as the compressed file size in kb value. Change the number +/- to change the compression and file size.
2) File/Save (Copy) As - select JPG as the type - select 'Options' - choose the type (Standard, Progressive, Lossless) - select 'Run Optimizer' - then the process is the same as in step 1. |
