I'm using Canon Zoombrowser software, and my CanonPowerShot A40 to download the card from my CoolPix 5700, and then putting it in PS 6.0. I can only get it to 157kb.
Is there a way to squeeze it tighter?

This is my second post in the forum. The purpose is to say that I figured it out. It was real simple. DUH.
Hopefully next time I'll be a more useful forum member.

You could go just a bit smaller then 640 pixels. Or if it is for advance editing you can blur the background a bit.

Hi Scott, no need to resize,( I think everyone should post at least 640) PS will allow saving right down to 1%
It looks crap but a happy medium will generate a great lookin picture using the save for web option, and in PS7 it gives you a preview along side, not sure about PS6 but the web option will still be there somewhere.

The best way is go in FIle and do Save for Web then you can decide the quality and put below 150k

Interesting follow up is... When you resize your entries for the challenge (usually at 640x480 pixels), what Quality (1% to 100%) are you able to use while keeping the size at 150KB? I usually can only manage about 75% most of the time.

But for the "Silhouette" challenge I bet a lot of you are able to save your entry at a lot high quality since there could be a lot of "dead" pixels (pure black, etc). I was able to save my entry at 98% quality this time. Anyone else?
