still too big file size wise (right click on the pic and view properties)

I recommend the following:

open image in PS

go image>image size

adjust size as required (ensure 'constrain proportions' box is ticked - 900pixels is max for the competition) - change dpi to 72 and ensure image dimensions are as required.

then go file>save for web

you should see 2 images size by side (unless you have 4-up view selected which isn't strictly necessary) - the one on the right is the one after compression at rate set by slidign scale on upper right of screen. Start with say 50 on the scale and observe change on file size figure shown under right hand image. Keep fiddling until it is under 150kb - check quality is not noticable different from original image on left. A setting of '52' may yield different file sizes - every image is different.
 
second entry...

I've noticed something odd Greg - this image is hosted on pbase as a 600x900 148kb file (original is 3456x2304 btw) - it seems to have automatically been downsized slightly here though... any ideas?
 
Clippo- I'm not sure but it wouldn't surprise me if pbase did something wierd. I'd be happy to host the photo on my site for you- just let me know.

cheers chaps - you're probably right Greg.... I'll leave it for now (as it's only another 100pixels) - thanks for the offer though.
 
Thanks Melev and Clippo for your instructions on how to reduce size of file.

You learn something new every day!

My pics are duely reduced.

Thanks again

Rod. :thumbsup:
 
<b>fuzed</b> - great picture, but it is .5 megs. You are allowed 150k, no more.

And fyi, we aren't allowed to have URLs in our signature lines on RC.

There is some top notch work here. As soon as I can figure how to post images instead of links I am in.

My teachers always said I was kinda slow.
