Hm, macOS 12.6.3
I can "Save as..." in PREVIEW!?

Then I selected JPEG as format and dragged the "Quality" slider until it showed ca. 220 KB as target filesize.

BTW, do you know what the image size limit is for posting on here? I just realised the 28 KB ones I downloaded are just thumbnails, not the size of the images you posted.

Apple decided some time ago that we didn't need "Save as" any longer. After some outrage from long-time users they allowed you to toggle it on. Hold down the option key while opening the File menu.

Hi Richmond,

I just tried your little Preview trick and it worked. Thanks for suggesting that. I much prefer images inline myself (I just wasn't aware that Preview would do the shrinky thing). You learn something new everyday :D
