See below for original tutorial.
That is easier. I prefer to use the "save as" rather than "save for web" personally. I personally like to see all the options - must be the computer geek in me. I can definitely understand how others may prefer using the "save for web" method, though. So, here are alternate steps for using the "save for web" option.

5. The image is now ready to save. I save the modified image in a new folder. Select Save For Web under the File menu.



6. A dialog should appear with the initial image on the left and the adjusted quality (optimized) image on the right. At the top of the dialog, just above the images are the file sizes. The save button is at the top left. Check the size of the optimized image. You can zoom in/out using the menus or the buttons between the images. As this tutorial only covers adjusting the image/file size, functionality that does not affect the file size will not be covered here.



7. At the bottom of the dialog are the image options including the image quality bar. If the optimized image is too large, adjust the quality setting until the image is under 200 KB. Note that if you click on the arrow buttons on either side of the image quality bar, the size will update immediately. If you grab the slider box and drag, the optimized image size updates only when you let go. You typically don't need to change the quality much so it's probably better to use the buttons. (If the image at 100% is about 250 KB, 98% is a good place to start. If the image is roughly 350 KB, 92% is probably a good place to start.)



8. When the optimized image size is under 200 KB, press the Save button.

9. Select the folder to save to and click on the Save button.
