Conversion from PSD to JPG produces too large file sizes?
Posted: 2010-08-03T08:14:10-07:00
Hello....
I have a CMYK PSD file created in Adobe Photoshop CS4 (test.psd).
I'm using ImageMagick on Ubuntu.
I would like to create a smaller version of the file and save it as a JPG.
To my surprise, this results in a JPG files of size 3.5MB. The file can not be displayed by the standard image viewer in Ubuntu. Gimp and Firefox are both able to display the file.
Setting the compression does not help.
Any ideas on how to get a JPG of a more reasonable file size?
Thanks
