Hello Everyone: I am wondering what contributes to the filesize of a photo besides the dimensions. In order to get the photo below to an acceptable size for uploading to my album I had to resize it to way below the max dimensions.
700 x 514 gave me a filesize of 244.32 Kb
I tried 680 x 499 and changed the pixels per inch from 240 to 180 and still ended up with a filesize of 232.89 Kb
The one below is now quite small 460 x 338 but comes in at 133.33 kb.
Does anyone know what could possibly be making the size of this file so large compared to others that I have uploaded?

Almost certainly what is causing your problem is that Elements/LR has decided to set the jpg quality to 12 (max.). I use 9 tops, which is more than adequate. I do find it goes back to max by itself occasionally though :rolleyes:
Other things that will affect filesize is lots of fine detail, or noise if above a certain amplitude.

The size of the image also increases if you put a colourprofile to it.
Maybe one time you save with attached colourprofile and the other time you did not add a profile to it?
