It is 9:45 PM (Eastern!). I have my submission. I cannot get it under 801 K! Problem: I changed the setting on my camera to a less compressed JPEG for "better quality". Now, when I crop, adjust, and resize to 427 by 640, the file size is still 801K at 72 resolution! I am using Photoshop 5.0 LE. I am running out of time, and cannot find the appropriate answer in past forums. Can anyone help?
Thank you, thank you in advance....

You need to play with the slider on the save as menu.. this will adjust the file size of the saved image...

When you have your image ready, you do file/save as... you give it a filename and file type... the next screen should have an image options slider where you can adjust the file size...
Did u do the resize function to get it to 640x427?
I regularly resize and work with 5mp files this way.. no problems..

I don't understand either. 'member I was telling you in an email the other day how I changed the compression to "fine" from "normal". I think this is the problem. But it is still only 2.3MP.
I cropped it using fixed dimensions of 854 X 1280. Then in image size: changed it to 427 X 640 with the constrained aspect ratio and resample boxes checked per usual. Then, save as, and the slider said 8, Maximum. I slide that to 7, High, and even 1, low (for kicks) for that matter, and the image size dialog box still says "801K". ?????

| When you save your file, use the 'save as copy' command so you won't change the original. You resized to 640 x480, also be sure to check or change the resolution on the 'Image Size' dialog box to 72dpi. That should give you a file of about 900k. Then try resaving as a .jpg. Like jm said, play with the slider to adjust the file size. On my Mac the '10' quality gives a 80k file. I know it's not optium, but it'll give you something to submit. |

Yup. For better or worse, probably the latter. How 'bout you?
Best of luck to you too. |

This is what I think you are saying: You are saving out the file and reopening it in Photoshop (or whatever) and the resize dialog says it is 801K. The resize dialog will always say 801K for a 427 X 640 image because that is how much memory is need to hold the image in its uncompressed form, and an image processor needs the uncompressed image. To find out the actual file size of a compressed image, find the file on your hard drive and look at its size there. Set up the folder containing the image file to be a list view or use Get Info on Mac or Properties(?) on Windows.
I hope you got this figured out in time to submit.
