That comes out at 2.7MB here. Forgive me if this comes over as patronising, but you had a photo that was reportedly upwards of 2GB – that’s 2048MB – short of saving a multi-layered, uncompressed TIFF you’re not going to get anywhere near to a 2GB for a photo. Are you absolutely sure it was 2GB?
my bad – 2mb to 4mb are the file sizes that i was working with.

Re: Limit of image file sizes?
If I save your image in Photoshop for the Web, in high quality 60, then the initial 2.8 MB can be reduced to 1.16 MB, with the same amount of pixels.

Thanks. I was not aware of the pref 60. where is that found? When i save for the web the choices presented don’t have the option you suggest. Unless it’s in the jpeg format. I usually choose png-8

If you have access to OS X, you can often reduce the file size further with ImageOptim: imageoptim.com – I found out about that from Phil Wareham and it’s excellent.

As a guideline, I use JPG for photos and similar, and PNG for screenshots.

i seemed to recall something about a possible copyright issue with JPG files so i started using PNG. But I’ll go back to JPGs if they can be made smaller in size than PNGs.
