Hi, I have photoshoped a picture that started off as a jpeg about 2.6mb in size.
I am trying to save the psd file as a jpeg but every time I do it , I end up with a jpeg thats only 670kb.
I do the max quality, large file size etc, but I must be missing something.
Anyone any ideas on what I'm doing wrong or not doing? Maybe my default settings are wrong or I've changed something.
Thanks,
John.
 
Steve,
Thanks for replying and for the link. I checked that out but couldn't work out what was going wrong.
I have elements 4 on my laptop and saving the file on that presented no problems.
I asked some advice at my camera club and someone suggested it was because I had cropped the image, which I had done.
So I did the same image again with and without cropping and it seems that that was what was causing the problem. Hopefully.....
I'll keep an eye on it though.
Cheers,
John.
