Having trouble resizing photos.....

I can get them to the 100k limit for posting here but the size is either too small of the detail is lost. Also, I though the limit was 2 pics at a time but many people post more than 2 in one post.

Any pointers for resizing?

It's not just size it's compression factor. Also, always sharpen after sizing.

I use jpeq quality setting 6 or 7 on photoshop, and use "sharpen" after scaling, then fade sharpen by around 50% according to taste.

I have the same/similar problem. I resize to get the photo under 100k and add sharpening. However, after the sharpening is added, the photo winds up being larger than 100k. Is there a magic number for size and compression in CS2 which takes into consideration post resize sharpening that will always yield a 90-99k photo?
