file sizes different between Ver 6 and Ver 7

Last year I was using PS6 when making jpg thumbnails for our school web page. They were 1 x 1 inch, 96 ppi, saved at a level 4. File sizes would usually be around 6-7 kb

This year I have been using Ver 7 and making the thumbnails in the same way, but the file sizes are now 14-16 kb.

Just to double-check that I wasn't remembering incorrectly, I went back to an old machine with PS6 on it. I made a thumbnail that came out at 7 kb. I went to a new machine with PS7 and with the exact same photo the file size came out to 14k.

Why the difference?

Metadata, previews, etc.

Use SaveForWeb if you want the smallest possible JPEG or GIF file.
