downsizing an image

Post by gateman45 »

I'm getting old,I don't remember things the way I used to.
I upgraded from psp6 to pspultimate8 and cant figure out how to downsize an image.I post some artwork on Renderosity (under gateman45), their size limit is 500K or less.
I have many images I'd like to post but most of them are in the 2MB category.
So how do I go about downsizing a 2 MB image to under 500K?

I'm assuming you save the images to upload as jpg images. If so, select File>Save As... (or Save Copy As...) and in the dialogue that opens select jpb as the type and then use the Compression slider to change the amount of compression. Watch the number below that slider, which tells you what the output file size will be as the compression is changed until you get an output of the size you need.

Well there it is "save as" that's the step I couldn't remember.
Thanks so much
