Can someone please explain why my JPEG attachments to an email are so large?
I have OS 9.1 with a G4 40 GB, 128MB ROM. I take digital pictures using a Fujifinepix camera and then download them using Exif Viewer. I then process and save them in either Tiff or JPEG format using PhotoShop 4.0LE. For emailing I convert all files to JPEG and reduce them to what the computer says is about 200-300 kB. However, at this size, they have relatively poor resolution considering the quality of the picture I take. When I receive an email with an attached JPEG, the attachment typically has a size of 100 kB. When opened, these picture are usually of good quality and resolution, typically better than the JPEGs I have saved at supposedly 300 kB. When I save this emailed JPEG attachment to disk, and then try to attach it to another email, the size increases from 100 to 300 kB. Why?
