Hello, anybody have any idea of how I can get my jpeg renders cut down to the 15kb size limit?  It drives me nuts everytime I try to post something.

I usually crop a piece of the pic, and bring down the canvas size and image size so its 100 x 100 pixels, but its usually 21kbs even at its lowest settings (when I save the new thumbnail as a jpeg).

Thanks

Use Save for web option. JPEG is fine, set quality to 60% or so and it will not lose quality at all :)

Thumb can be 200x200px no prob. :)

When you save something in jpg-format, after you've hit "save" in the saving dialogue, Photoshop will open a new dialogue asking you for the quality.

Here you can choose one level, 12 being the largest. As your thumbnail doesn't need to be saved in the best quality, you could simply chose a range from 1-4. This will reduce the file size, allowing to post thumbs at 200 x 200.

In the Save for Web you can click on the Optimize Menu dropdown and choose Optimize to File Size. This will let you enter any file size you want.
