Although
we have many times discussed preparing photographs for web, but this is
mainly focused on downsizing your Photographs. Many times, folks are
mainly focus of space utilization on servers of their website or blog.
Few of the folks want to reduce the size so that it doesn't take much
time before uploading to a website or a blog OR sending through email.
Here we shall mainly be focusing on resizing a Photograph which will
reduce the size upto a desired value.
So let's go step by step to achieve it.
1. Open the file in Adobe Photoshop Elements, which you want to reduce in size.
2. Go to File menu and select 'Save As' and opt for JPEG
3. Give a new name to your Photograph in Save As dialog and click OK.
4.
Following show dialog will be shown on clicking OK in Save As Dialog of
Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor. In this dialog if you notice there is a
mention about current file-size of this Photograph. Please see on
right side of the small dialog.
5.
Now if you start moving Quality Slider towards the left, size will
automatically decrease. When it reaches around your desired value, just
stop and continue. Moving this slider to left means you are decreasing
Quality of the photograph which will not be very noticeable on web. It
mainly increases the compression level of your final JEPG.
6.
Apart from that there are three option which also impact size of your
Photograph. So try selecting any of these one by and see which fits
better for you for further compression - Baseline Standard, Baseline
Optimized, Progressive.
