How can I keep file sizes from being so large?
I have a project going on right now and cannot understand why the file size is so large. I have 3 pages with one image on each page.
Page 1: jpg image is 105 kbPage 2 jpg image is 167 kbPage 3 jpg image is 105 kb
Total file size is: 12,638 kb
How is this possible??
thank you in advance for any help!
what are the physical dimensions of these jpg's and the dpi? 12MB isn't that big. Any drop shadows? Heavy text that's been converted to curves?

Remember that JPG is a compressed file. The file, closed and compressed, is 105 Kb size. More or less file compression will change the file size. But if you open the JPG (with Photoshop, PhotoPaint, PaintShopPro, etc) you could see the uncompressed file size. It could be 8 Mb or bigger
When you import the file, the JPG becomes a uncompressed bitmap. If you use internal file compression (ZIP) it will much less compression than the JPG
