Its hard to believe I have entered 100 challenges and still, I don't know how to save under the 150k in the best way. can anyone describe it or point ot somewhere for the procedure?
thanks for that link....BUT, I'm using PSP X2.....and it usually ends up around 60-70K. I do not have an option (that I'm aware of) to select the file size as 150K. I do, do all of the other things mentioned in the article.
I'm not familiar with PSP, does it have a 'Save for web' option? I think most software has that, or something very similar. That should be where it has, if any, ways to control size/quality.
I just found that it has "Save for Office". There it lets you select a size in inches or pixels. Saving it in the highest quality (300 dpi) still yeilds low K numbers.
Manually set compression factor to maximize the compressed size output of the file.
(Edit: lower compression factor = better quality/larger file size.)

Easiest way is to use the JPEG Optimizer. It's available two ways:
1) File/Export/JPEG Optimizer - then change the compression value number. The file size will be displayed under the right image preview window, listed as the compressed file size in kb value. Change the number +/- to change the compression and file size.
2) File/Save (Copy) As - select JPG as the type - select 'Options' - choose the type (Standard, Progressive, Lossless) - select 'Run Optimizer' - then the process is the same as in step 1.
