Question

Save image as very specific dimensions and file size

I have an image received from a client in .eps format.  I need to get it into either a .gif or .jpg format AND the final file MUST be .8 inches x .3 inces, AND no more than 10K in size.   How can I save it with these dimensions/constraints and not lose resolution? What I have tried - export to .jpg (file is 5 inches x 3 inches), export and change resolution to 100ppi (image is nearly the right dimensions, but blurry).  The tools I have are AI and PS both version CS5

Lamb,

Presuming you want it in RGB, you should be able to create a 4 - 5 K size in 300 PPI as JPEG or GIF if you place the image (which is presumably vector artwork) in a new RGB Document with points as unit and:

1) Change the size of the image to 240 x 90 pixels,

2) Save for Web (& Devices) with that Image Size (you can make sure in the Image Size window), choosing either GIF or JPEG (Maximum Quality).

The size 240 x 90 pixels corresponds to 0.8 x 0.3 inches at 300 PPI.

I must have missed a step or misunderstood.  I resized to 240 x 90, then saved for web and went to image size window and ensured it also said 240 x 90 (i couldn't find a way to see inches in save for web).   I did not see a place to specify 300PPI

When I open in PS the image is 3.333 x 1.319 and is 72 ppi

Sorry I'm a less than a novice with AI

Oh - Also should mention the file is RGB, but is black and white so if chaging color profile will help ultimate file size, thats fine.
