Re: T1i file size and printing

If her camera is jet for teh largest finest quality JPEG files, there are three ways to get to a 1.5 MB file.

1/ she crops off a lot of image.

2/ When she uses Save As to save an edited file and give it a new name, there is a slider and box offering various quality levels, 12 is the highest level, but for some reason she is selecting a lower level than that, which results in smaller files. The lower the number, the higher the compression, and the smaller the file size.

3/For some reason she is using the Save for Web command, which makes files a lot smaller, and thus easier to open in a web browser. Using Save for Web usually leaves an on screen image looking just as good as a much bigger, much less compressed, file.
