JR, you probably have Microsoft's Photostudio, not Adobe Photoshop Elements.
In Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0; Open the photo you want to edit.
Under FILE select SAVE FOR WEB; the photo will be opened in two windows side by side. The right side will be reduced in pixles to a recommended
amount. If the whole photo isn't visible in each window you can change the zoom in the lower left corner.
If the size isn't what you want, change the settings in the IMAGE SIZE box. Select APPLY
If the file size (displayed under each photo) isn't correct, change the SETTINGS, either by seleting LOW MEDIUM HIGH MAX or by changing the QUALITY.
The photo will and the file size will change automatically.
Play around with the settings until you get what you want and then select OK. The SAVE FILE box will open and you can save the image with a different
name in any folder you want.
When you close the original, it'll ask you if you want to save changes. Select NO and you have the original untouched.
The below photo was originally 3072X2048 pixels and 18mb, I shrunk it to 800x533 and High resolution (60%) which resulted in a file size of 49.24 kb.
I'll cover how to do the same thing in Photostudio in a later post.

PHOTOSTUDIO DIRECTIONS
In Photostudio; Open the photo to be edited. Select EDIT ? IMAGE SIZE, this will open the Image Size dialog box.
Make sure the ?Keep Aspect Ratio? box is checked.
Enter the width in pixels you want (800 or 600 is the most common, I use 800),
Change the RESOLUTION to 70 (that?s about the best that most monitors show),
Change the QUALITY to GOOD,
Select FILE ? SAVE AS; Select a folder and enter a file name,
Set QUALITY slider to 50.
SAVE the photo;
Open Windows Explorer, find the photo, and check the file size. If it?s still too big then do it again (remembering to close the original photo and
opening the new one), this time only changing the resolution if it isn?t 70 (sometimes it isn?t, don?t ask), the quality (same here) and then do
another Save As.
Check the file size again. If it didn?t change, delete the file (while you still have it open in Photostudio) and do another Save As (this is another
?don?t ask? glitch, Photostudio is a verrrrry buggy program). If it?s still too big, do it again.
I converted this photo and it took 2 rounds to get it to 47 kb. It started out as 4.3 mb and 3072x2048 pixels at 180 resolution, with frequent
closing, opening, switching between Photostudio and Explorer, and deleting files I got it to 800x533, 70 resolution, and 47 kb.
Now you know why I don?t use Photostudio!
