I could not find any threads on this here so presume this is a ‘me only’issue.
I recently did some scans direct to jpg with minimum compression as they were not going to need any other action. One turned out to need some tweaking so I opened in Photoshop and saved it with low compression. The file grew considerably in size, 5 or 6 times larger. I did not think to much of that as I was busy and used some other software to do it.
Today I received a bmp that needed to be trimmed adjusted to 200×200 and saved as a jpg (24 bit colour). The bmp was 272K and trimmed and resized resulted in a 116k bmp. Saved as a jpg with low compression I got a 48k jpg! I new that was much too large and had some spare time. Even on max compression with no preview the file only shrunk to 47k.
I then put the same bmp into Corel Photopaint and saved as a jpg with a low 7% compression giving an 18k jpg. With 10% compression it got down to a reasonable 14k.
What is going on in Photoshop????
