Is there a way to edit the jpeg compression.
for example I have a PSD file that is about 158mb and when I save it as jpeg (highest quality 12) the file size reduces to 7MB
I don't wont it be smaller then 10MB. So is there away to set a limit that doesn't go under 10MB.
I use Photoshop CC 2017
The reason way I want this, is that the webshop service I use for selling prints, doesn't allow images under 10MB.
Then give them a TIFF, not a jpeg.
Setting a minimum file size is ridiculous and just shows they have no idea what it means. Jpeg uses data compression - not data reduction! - to lower the file size.
Don't upsample! That ruins the image before you can say megabyte.

As far as I know, there isn't a way. 12 is the top, and many have found out that 12 is an overkill for jpgs.

Do you have any suggestions on how to make an image not go under 10MB? I have tried to resize the image to 200% it works, but then the quality suffers.

Perhaps it's a crude way for them to make sure images are high enough pixel count. Just a thought.

The pixel minimum is 3648 pixels, but I'm way over that, but still some picture doesn't pass the 10MB limit. So the pixels are my problem.

Given that jpeg compressed file-size depends on both compression level and image content it seems a strange figure.
Do you have a link to the submission requirements?

choosing "Preserve Details" when using Image/ resize is the best way to maintain detail and increase pixel count. If you must enlarge your image use this setting.
