Hi Wendy,
The pixels per inch figure (240ppi or 180ppi) is irrelevant to the image filesize, it's just a number that is used to give a physical size from the pixel dimensions when printing. For posting images, only the dimensions in pixels count (e.g. 700 x 514).
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.
Cheers,
Re: Image Size and Weight
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?
