picture size

Post by webmario »

Before I start to work on a picture, the size is around 2MB. After small corrects my pictures are only 0.3 to 0.5MB.
Why? Is there a possibility to have the same picture size like before?
Thanks

I'm assuming you're talking about the .JPG file format. But, options are there in many other file formats.

The next time you edit a .JPG, don't 'Save' it but 'Save as...'. At the bottom right of the dialogue box, if you've selected the JPG file type, there's an 'Options' button.
On that dialogue you'll see 'Compression' with a slider and an entry box. Out of the box it's usually set to 15% (or maybe 20). slide the slider to the left -least compression- or fill in 1 in the box. This will give minimal compression.

Once you've done that, the Save option uses the same compression factor as the Save as... option.
