Size requirements for contest

I am entering a photo contest that has the following format requirements: "Format: Images must be in RGB color format, horizontal, 300 dots per inch, 8 bit, and at least 9x12 inches when printed at 300 dpi. The pixel width should be 3600 and pixel height should be 2700."  I have no issue setting this in Photoshop, however, the submission page requires maximum of 5mg size.  How can I reduce the MB size without reducing the format required. I have tried saving as jpeg, gif and png and using Windows 11.

Correct answer ExUSA

You can use File->Export->Save for Web to set a target size. I'd export as an sRGB JPEG file. File size is heavily dependent on the image content, so the quality level could vary a great deal.

 

Note on this sample image the dimensions, quality level, and file size.
