Hi,

when i make a sig in photoshop and save the file as a jpeg, i move the slider so that it is below 20.0k. But then when i check the file it made it has increased to about 40.0k! why does it do that!!

Because you smell!
with your nose
Post the image and I'll make it smaller for you

do the save for web option; it's more reliable and better for reducing file sizes

I knew it would be something technical like that

you go file > save for web > select jpeg in the drop down box under 'preset' > click on the circle with little arrow in it, enter 20k > ok > ok

i have copied that far too many times
