I suspect it's Emily that's getting it wrong.
Exactly. It's obvious that the file is 56K. Somehow, when Emily
takes it into Photoshop (which is totally unnecessary, as Q points
out), it is getting transformed.
C'mon, Jeff. it's not getting transformed. it's getting un-jpegged,
which reveals its true size.
It may be 56K on site, but my web page images are 13K onsite. when
you open them in PS they're 2.xx x 3.xx by 72 or 96 dpi which makes
them bigger than 13K when uncompressed.
The file is 2.2M when uncompressed. It's 15" wide by 10" high by
72dpi when uncompressed. That multiplies out to exactly what we've
all gotten when opening the image outside of the web page. most of
us are opening it in software which uncompresses it and reveals how
many pixels it has and at what density.
I'll bet everyone is getting the exact same statistics I'm getting
when they do what I've been doing.
