Hi,

The problem you are facing, I guess it is due to image resolution. the images which are 400mb are of very high resolution and the images that are 50mb are of low resolution. For reducing the size of 400mb images change it to low resolution.

Here are the steps to reduce the resolution of images:

- Go to image menu in the top navigation menu and select image size or press ctrl+Alt+I.

- This will open a new dialog box with the image size settings.

- Change the resolution settings to reduce it.

An then try to export it, size will be decreased.

Hope this helps,

Maneet Puri

Maneet, I don't think the resolution matter, becuase it's all being save to 72 anyway, per force.

If these images are identical in physical size (same # of pixels) then variation in file size can be attributed to the content of the image. A barren, snowy landscape will have a smaller file size than a photo of Times Square in NYC.

Thanks M,

ok one image #1 very black comes to a medium in save for web much smaller than #2 image.

That said, after I do a flatten crop on both (with same crop preset) the blacker one #1 says it's 4mb, and other #2 says 8mb. (reading the info panel) Bit puzzled on that. I suppose thats just based on previous resolutions/ pixeles that the images have before I do the flatten and crop? I just thought after the crop they would/ should all be same size.

You might try sharing a desktop snapshot to explain yourself. Lundberg02 was on to something.

72 is meaningless in this discussion. There is no dpi or ppi on the web. The only thing that matters is the pixel dimensions of the image. Sounds like you need to learn the fundamentals of image sizing. Image sizing is done before saving for web.

On medium setting I have image that are 400mb, and others that are only 50mb.

This last one that is 50 mb is color, with a lot of dark, blacks, ...

What's the logic behind this? thanks.

You sure it's not "kb" as opposed to "mb"?

This thread is not about anything meaningful because we can't see the images theselves or any of their dimensions or modes.

Agreed, the OP seems unable to describe the problem, or provide enough information.

Kevin, it would be well to list the actual pixel dimensions of your images.

You seem to have a lot of trouble providing specific information when you post here... Why is that? Details definitely matter.

Ok, both images are cropped to 1000px by 1500px

I can PM images to anyone who wants to inspect, bit hard to do on forum.

Upload them to the web and post a link then we can all see them.

thanks John, I don't like uploading my images live for all to see -- I try to keep a low profile, especially on this forum which especially has a lot of cantankerous / angry folks on it.

That said the same angry folks are often delightful offline.

Also, I think you really want to grab the file offline to study it. I don't mind PM the files to you or anyone who wants to help.

This thread was moot because no information was ever provided. The moderator should have intervened. Why waste everyone's time?
