I am running PS 7 on a Mac, OS 10.4. To meet the size requirement for posting an image to a certain forum, the image must be less than 100 kByte in size. So I use Save As / JPEG and as I select Quality with Preview checked it apparently shows me the file size at the bottom of the window with an estimate of the time to transfer the file. But I find quite often that if I choose Quality to get the size below 100 kB, the image is actually saved at a larger size (as confirmed by using Get Info as well as the fact that the forum site often doesn’t accept the image). So I have a couple of questions.
1. What does the size estimate based on the Quality level actually mean and why is it apparently inaccurate?
2. When I instead use Save For Web, I usually get much smaller file sizes even when I choose fairly high quality settings. What is Save For Web doing differently from Save As / JPEG?
Thanks.
