changing from psd to jpeg

[gena]

Can someone please help me with formats? I have originals in raw - NEF- when I've worked on them and they go to PSE, they become psd. I'd like to email them as jpeg. How do I do this? Also, how do I reduce their size? My email gets rejected saying I have exceeded the size that will be accepted. THANK YOU!

Hi there ...

For emails I tend to resize them to about 700 pixles on the longest side and maybe 200 kb ... that way they don't take long to send, but you can do them larger that that if you wish ...

I tend to resize them using Save for Web:

Open your image then do File>Save for Web
When the Save for Web dialogue box come up there is a section over on the bottom right hand side where you can change the pixels size (see A) if you tick Constrain Proportions then you only need to change the longest side. Next take a look at the new size (B) ... if it is still too big then use the quality slider (C) until the size is OK

Hope this helps :)

And, to further minimize the size of the picture, make sure to uncheck ICC Profile (Wendy's image shows it uncheck).
