How do you shrink an image to 30 MB or under to import it into sams club photography

[lorib73858077]

I imported a picture into photoshop it was 6mb  I added a name and date and then tried to import into sams club photography and all of a sudden the picture is 34mb and too big to import.  Can anyone help me

What file format was your picture at the beginning of your work?

What file format are you trying to import into sams club?

I suppose that you were reading in a JPEG and try to import a Photoshop file into sams club (what ever that may be).

Try File->Save As and choose JPEG. CHoose an appropriate compression (quality) and you will get a file of moderate size.

But as you're talking about "impoting" into Photoshop, are you using by chance Photoshop Elements?

File > Export > Export as > JPG.  Adjust Image Size and Quality slider as required.  See screenshot.

It seems odd that adding a name and date to a file would drive the file size up by an additional 28 meg. Does deleting that single name-and-date layer return the file to 6 meg? 

Also, Sam's Club lists "Supported file types: .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe, .jfif, .gif, .tif, .tiff, .bmp, .dib, .png"

Are you sending a flattened file?

Well, anyhow, it seams that the OP has either lost the interest into the question or he/she is currently not in the possibility to answer the questions that have been asked...
