I have been using the same method making my pictures smaller but now it is not working anymore?? They always end up 98-120kb... 2weeks ago it worked, following the steps in the tutorials, but not any more. It seems that if I make RAW pictures untouched smaller, sometimes they end up 150k, but JPG do not... and the RAW pictures sometimes end up smaller or bigger.... can someone help me, please :o)
yes I am using PS and follow the steps, 1.save for web 2.optimize file size to 150kb 3. quality 60 4. confirm the picture is 640pix... but then I save it and it usually turns out the wrong size??

In Save For Web, there's a little teensy arrow button up by the quality field where you can input your desired file size and it finds the right quality percentage for you. Don't pick a number yourself.
ok, but I think I have tried it.... don´t really know what I am doing wrong, but if I don´t put any number in there and it goes up to a higher number than 60, is that ok? Does the size of the picture "before" matter?

Maximum = 100
Very High = 80
High = 60
Medium = 30
Low = 10

Yes, the higher that number is, the better your quality is. The only requirement is that the file size be 150KB or under. Personally, I get grumpy if I have to save at a number under 80%. ;-)

Drop step #3 and switch steps 2 and 4. You basically end up undoing the automatic parts doing it the way you list.
I think I saw that in the tutorial section, image quality not above 60... but I am not sure, have gone through it so many times :o) Always at the last moment (as it will probably be this time)..
But I will try these tips tonight in saving for the next challenge, will see what happens... Thanks everyone...

Sounds just what I am doing is this... Makes sense when you put it like that... Will try it :o)

Ok, it worked last night :o) but now I was uploading a picture of a glass of water and it does not go abv 50 or 60kb??? Maby it is enough because of the single color?? Tried to follow all the steps you gave me, WHAT am I doing wrong?
