All right - I need an image expert here.
I have jpg image sent to me by a friend that started out as an 8.8MB jpg.
Large file size at 600dpi
I reduced the image size to 1200pixels across which brought the file size down to 1.8MB, still at 600dpi
Since this image is only for the web, I would like the size to be below 1 MB, somewhere around 600 - 800K, but when I change the resolution in preview to 150 dpi first and then to 90 dpi, the size still stays at 1.8 MB
I checked each one of these images, and Preview reports the image as 600, 150 and 90 dpi per what is shown in the image name, but they are still all at 1.8 MB
What magic do I need to reduce the image to below 1 MB?
Does Preview report the wrong dpi, ie the dpi's never changed? or what is going on here?
