Hey everyone,

I'm trying to print a 16X20 canvas... the file is reading 23.1Mb but the website i'm uploading to for print will only allow a 19.25Mb file. How can I get the file size down without cropping the image and maintaining the quality for the canvas print?

Use save for web. It can take a little longer with a full size file, but it allows you to lose only the few Mb you need.

At 16x20 and how many DPI? most places for a Canvas will have specs. And realistically most are 8x10 at 150DPI which should be way less MB than you have.

I always go 16x20 and 200DPI and still it's usually a lot less than you have.
