[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1793156, member: 83420"] The "was xMB" refers to the original photo wherever it came from. In my case, and for the demonstration, I copied a photo from the Photos app to the Desktop, where I opened it with preview. In the copying process, there was some compression. Basically, you can ignore that figure and concentrate on the current figure (3.4MB in my case). As regards file size: you can reduce the pixel width further; or the DPI. Obviously, I don't know where your picture originated, but if it came from an app such as iPhoto, or Photos which has replaced it, you can compress the picture if you copy it to the Desktop first. Choose File > Export and then you get the chance to change a number of parameters, as in this screenshot: [ATTACH=FULL]28213[/ATTACH] Try experimenting with Quality and Size. Hope some of this makes sense:) Ian [/QUOTE]
