Photoshop CS3 - Can't compress images as small as I could before.

Logic Zero · 29 Sep 2007 at 02:00

As in title, when I was using PS7 I could scale a signature size pictures from around 35-50kb down to 15kb if I wanted. Now on CS3 I move the quality all the way down the bottom (and it looks carp) and it's still a huge jpg file

Anyone else had this problem?

Are you still working with a large image? Try right-click on the edge of the picture thingy (sorry bad description I know) and go canvas size, then reduce the pixels to a size you want, if you've done that already then I don't know, sorry!

are you saving for web or just saving as a jpeg.

a gif is smaller than a jpeg is it not?

Yes it is but they can suffer loss quite badly. Save for Web is the key tbh

I was saving just as a JPEG, but now I saved as web and it worked, thanks to all
