How to reduce the MB size of a photo? Like taking a photo at 5.7mb and reducing it to 2.0?

How do you reduce the MB size of a photo?  Like taking a photo that is 7.8mb and reducing it to 2.5mb.

Go to File>Save for web. In the dialog under "New Size", try 800px for the long side. (Experiment)  Be sure that ":Constrain proportions" is checked. Select the file type near top, left.

PSE 13 has 3 editing modes: Quick, Guided, and Expert. I do not have PSE 13 but I'm guessing that Save for Web (hatstead's suggestion) and Resize Image Size (my suggestion) are only in the Expert mode. Perhaps you were working in one of the other modes which does not have these options.

Hi Mark,

Sometimes when I make a stupid mistake I hate to admit it, but I have

learned over the years that it's best I just admit it and get over it. hen

I was trying to follow your instructions, I had the photo in Organizer",

and not "EDITOR". Consequently the "Save for web" was obviously not

available. Anyway, I now have found the "Save for Web", and did one photo and I

still don't know what I did, but I dramatically reduced the size of a photo

I used as a sample.

So, Again thanks for your help and patience. I now know what to do, but

I still need to play with it so that I know everything abut it.

My best, and "THANKS!

Dave

"Save for Web" converts the picture's DPI to 72 (the Web standard). This is fine for pictures viewed in a browser, but 72 might not be suitable for printing. If you want to preserve the original DPI you can do Image > Resize > Image Size. Check the Constrain Proportions and Resample boxes. Enter a smaller value in any of the Width or Height boxes and the other dimension will reduce accordingly.

Mark..................

Due to other immediate priorities I was not able to apply your suggestion

until now, but when I did, I was unable to find anything in FILE or EDIT

that says: "Save for Web"... FYI I am using PS #13. Might you have some

other suggestions?

I do appreciate your help.
