Question

Is there a way to resize by MB instead of dimensions?

I am trying to upload a few of my prints to get printed on glass.  There is a 20MB limit per upload.  The images I am trying to upload are like 20.2 - 20.7MB.  Is there a way to reduce the size by MB instead of by dimensions.  Meaning, a way that I can say, I want to reduce this image from 20.5MB to 20MB?

Thanks

    Are you saving in jpeg format? I think you are rather using psd or tiff format. Tiff format has an option to compress losslessly; that could be enough for you if the destination site can use compressed tiffs.

    Unfortunately the site requires  .jpg, .png or bitmap

    No, not unfortunately , jpeg is the solution.

    You can set the quatity (compression level) in the 'Save As' dialog.

    You can try settings from 5 to 10 and see the resulting size.

    To save in much smaller sizes, the 'Save for Web' command is the most flexible tool.
