    Clarification needed on JPEG compression

    emilycornfield Community Member

      My client has requested I convert larger size tiff and psd files to 60K jpegs for a particular website that will only take that format from them. I reduced the files to 60K at 72ppi in PS3 and when they are saved the size always appears larger. After reading a Feb. 9th post from a similar issue I saw that compression is a factor with jpegs. However, my files are getting larger than the 60K once saved, not smaller, and even when I change the Image Quality Options dialogue from high to low the size remains more than 60K. What and where do I get these files down to 60K while still maintaining as much quality and intrinsic size as possible?  Attached is an example of a file that is 59.6K when sized in PS3 but after saving is 68K. Thanks for your response!
