I am trying to create some images in PS2 that have to be 3.5 to 4.0 mb. When viewing the Image Size screen, I might see an image size of 9.6 mb. However, when I save the image and run my mouse over the image in Bridge, it shows a size between 2 to 3 mb. I can't figure out why this discrepancy, or what math I need to do in order to figure out how to create the required image size other than by trial and error.

Any understanding of how this works would really be appreciated.

Thanks,
jefields

Hi jefields,
Photoshop shows you estimated uncompressed size.
If you save document to PSD you get a similar file size value. If you save it to JPEG or other format other than PSD document is compressed.
