Figure 17-3. Save For Web's file-size optimization feature is helpful when you need to send
a file someplace that puts limits on your total file size. Top: Click the four-line square in the
upper right of the Save For Web dialog box, and then choose “Optimize to File Size,” as
shown here. Bottom: The “Optimize to File Size” dialog box uses kilobytes as its unit of
measurement. Simply enter the size you want (in kilobytes) in the Desired File Size box.
Below that, picking Current Settings tells Elements to start with whatever settings you've
entered in the main Save For Web window, like the format and quality. Choose Auto Select
GIF/JPEG instead if you want Elements to decide between GIF and JPEG for you. Once
you finish making your selections, click OK, and Elements shrinks the image to the size you
requested.
