[QUOTE="krs, post: 1835925, member: 67742"] Thanks for the suggestions @ Ian - Interesting idea but left me even more confused trying to understand what’s happening. Will explain below @Bob - I already changed the size from 2493 pixels wide and 8.3 MB to 1200 pixels wide at 1.8 MB. 1200 pixels wide is the standard I need to use, DPI (or quality) is the only other thing I can adjust, for the net even 90 DPI would be fine @Nick - With those steps I end up at the same point and with the same issue as with Ian’s suggestion to use “Export” So the strange things that happen with Ian’s or Nick’s suggestion - Sorry the images are a bit small, I had to reduce them to 800 pixels wide for the forum, I hope you can read the information. So… First thing that happens using “export” or when I get to the same screen using Nick’s method, is that the image size reported previously as 1.8 MB is now reported as 1.3 MB. Just to be clear - that is without doing anything to the image parameters at all! I then moved the quality slider to the left to 854K, so far so good Saved it at 854K, size as the saved image shows aty that (855K actually), but when I open that image (that shows 855K) in Preview and check size - the size is indicated as 1.2 MB (third image) And when I close that and then go do the same thing again, open that image and check size (again without making any changes to the image, it is no reported as 1.2 MB (was 1.2 MB) Bottom line the way I see it - Preview software in that area iis totally messed up - one can;t depend on any of the sizes (in MB and KB) that are reported. I think I will have to try another image program I have. [ATTACH=FULL]30655[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=FULL]30656[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=FULL]30657[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
