Preview resizing problem - Not saving correct file size in info.... Brand new M2 MacBook Air (Aug 22). I'm trying to resize photos using preview, been doing it for years on several iMacs. The problem is it's resizing the file saving it in the new 800x600 pxl size (from 4000x3000), but when you go to info it's still in the original final file size of 3.5MB, BUT when you open it again in preview it is the new size and only 134kb...!!! The big deal is trying to upload it to my website, the website reads it as 3.5MB and refuses to upload (3MB max per pic). Even though it's definitely 134KB. File size in info says 3.5MB.... I run an e-commerce site and cannot upload any photos now! Only reason I bought the new Air to manage a second website....!!! Please help - I'm pulling my hair out and thinking about returning the Air.....
