Frank,

The following procedure is not what I use because it strips the EXIF information (exposure details) from the file, but, this should suffice:

In Photoshop, resize the image to say, 800x533 (which is what I typically do for web if the length/width is in a 3:2 ratio) and then go to File > Save for Web and Devices.

Click one of the settings there so that you have a 4-up display of images. Then, I typically choose the top right, and change the quality setting, click in another text-field and look at the size of the file under the image. If it's below 200 KB, I then up it a notch, and then click in another text field, and re-check the file size. If it's above 200 KB, do the converse, nudge the quality slider down.

Once you've got a size that's under 200 KB for this forum, click Save, et voila!

Regards,
Humayun
