It is worthwhile to point out that the size of the picture is not the only determinant of file size. JPG file size is dramatically affected by two other factors. 1) the amount of variation in the picture content and 2) how accurately you want the picture recreated. Most photo editing programs let you vary the reproduction accuracy by adjusting the storage algorithm. Backing off to 50% has little effect on many pictures and may recuce storage by as much as 75%. In fact, some photographs may appear better with a little random fuzziness or softness.
