The JPEG Optimizer [for
those who haven't used it before]
You will find the optimizer
in PSP by clicking on File and then on Export.
In the list that appears,
click on JPEG Optimizer.
This optimizer window will appear.
For
the purposes of this tut, we are only concerned with the Quality tab that you
see when you first open the optimizer. Look for the words "Set compression
Value to:" which I have circled in the graphic here. The lower you set
this value, the better the quality of the image will be. But that will
make the KB size of the image higher. In the sample graphic notice
where I wrote in 78 K. To know the K of your image, you look only at the
first two numbers in the bytes. So in the sample, 78,191 bytes is about
78 K. So for this challenge, you will have to change the compression
value until the compressed size of the image is about 80K. When you have
the value set, click OK. [Don't change any of the other settings from
the default that you see here in my sample image.]
