6. Choose Image>Image Size.
You created this file at 300 pixels per inch,
which is appropriate for commercial print
requirements. For web distribution, however,
300 ppi is far more than you need. To
further reduce the file weight and resulting
download time, you should downsample the
file to 72 ppi — an appropriate resolution
for most web display requirements.

7. With the Resample option checked in the Image Size dialog box, change
the Resolution field to 72.

When the Resample option is checked,
changing the resolution does not affect the
file’s physical size; rather, the actual number
of pixels is reduced. In this case, at 72 ppi,
only 630  810 pixels are required for a file
that is 8.75  11.25.

8. Click OK to finalize the change.

9. Choose File>Save As. Click the Save on Your Computer button if necessary.

10. In the resulting dialog box,
choose JPEG in the
Format/Save as Type menu,
then click Save.
You are using the Save As
process so that you can review
the compression settings that
will be applied in the resulting
JPEG file.

11. In the resulting warning message, click Replace/Yes.
Because you did not change the file name, you are
asked to confirm whether you want to overwrite the
existing JPEG file.

12. In the JPEG Options dialog box, make sure High
is selected in the Quality menu, and then click OK.

When you first saved the file at the beginning of this
exercise, the resulting JPEG file was over 1 megabyte. By
reducing the resolution, the file is now approximately
200 kilobytes.

13. Close the active file.
