ive been trying to photoshop a picture of my hummer today, and i got it done. but i dont know how to compress the file and save it as a .jpeg. also, im trying to upload the original(to the hummer forums) and it keeps saying file is too large. is there anyway i can upload the original without having to export it to somewhere as a smaller file?

can anyone give me some help?

I use Photoshop for Vista but it should be the same deal. Save the file as a PSD... which is raw format... and then click on save as again and choose the option of jpg. It's pretty simple and quick.

Several things could be the problem:

If your file has layers, you'll need to flatten the image before saving.
If the camera was set to take larger image size photos, you'll have to resize the image. Reduce either the image size or the dpi.
Make sure you're working/saving in rgb mode. cmyk files are larger.
When saving as a jpg, reduce the image quality. If it's on maximum, go down to medium. It won't reduce the quality of a small image for an avatar.
You can save it as a pdf also, and open the pdf in Adobe, then re-save, reducing the file size.

There are several other ways, if none of those work.

i saved it originally as a unflattened pfd, which took up a ton of space, so i flattened it, resaved it as a raw pfd and then saved it again as a jped (and i did it on medium quality to save more space) problem solved. im still new to my mac, only had it since christmas and we just got photoshop
