Conflicting sizes


Genevieve

Recommended Posts

Hello forum,

 

When I resize my image at 1MB, the size doesn't reflect the same size when I save it. When I look at properties, my image is at 160KB..!  What does 1MB represent then?

Thank you, Genevieve

I assume the 1.0 MB is the number of megabytes in the image: 440 x 620 x 4 bytes-per-pixel = 1,091,200 bytes. (Don't know why it didn't say 1.1 MB.)

 

The 94.3 KB is the size of the file. It looks like you're saving it as a JPEG file, which considerably compresses the image, reducing the file size. If it didn't, there'd be no reason to use JPEG instead of BMP.
