I’m saving a .psd graphic text on jpg format and the resulting file for me is too big (35 KB)
quality 5, medium. The strange thing is that lowering the quality bar to 0 the file size is over
30KB!!!

Saving the jpg (35KB quality 5, medium) with paint on the same jpg format, decrease the size from 35 to 8KB without noticeable loss of quality !

Why this strange thing is happening?

That’s probably because you use ‘Save as..’. This includes EXIF data and those data make the file size big. Use ‘Save for the web’ to strip the EXIF data.

Yes this was my mistake.

Excuse me, but I’m fairly new to photoshop, a good course could help 🙂

Thank you

yes, in all cases when you want to turn the image over to .gif, or ..jpg, you want to be using the ‘save as for web’ optio
