UMM, YEAH.
HERE YOU GO..
That is a screen capture of the DEFAULTS of a 10 mega pixel picture, I have not altered or changed this file in any way.
The native file size is approx 4 MB in size (the size listed in the screen shot is IF I saved the file in Photoshop default of a PSD format which is not readable by any other program but it enables you to modify and track changes and undo them any time).
IF I change the DPI to 300 and the canvas size to 8x10 the file shrinks to 1.2 MB which IS a far more reasonable size to incorporate into a Word Doc or Power Point slide show where the image "quality" is borked by MS Office anyway.
So far, EVERY digital camera I have owned, my DW has owned and my DD owned from 1 megapixel up to and including 14 mega pixel ALL DEFAULT TO 72 DPI.
You CAN change the DPI then reduce the canvas size with very little pixel loss if you are careful but yet reduce the overall file size.
