Photoshop 7, Win XP
Had a jpg which was 1,600 kb. Went into Photoshop and made various adjustments – color, some clone tool and dodge tool work using lasso tool, whitened teeth etc.
I may have saved it partway through this process but I don’t remember doing so. However, when I went to save it again as a jpg, it would only save as a psd file. To be saved as a jpg, Photoshop told me that because of the layers, it could be saved as a copy (yellow triangle warning at the layers checkbox).
So I saved the psd file as [name]copy.jpg.
The original psd was 18,000 kb and the saved as copy jpg (with jpg options at their highest), is only a little over 2,000 kb.
How did 18,000 kb (because of Photoshop adjustments), turn (back?) into 2,000 kb?
Thanks.
