Being a Luddite

[Lang]

couldn't work out how to reduce the file size, I kept getting rejected(story of my life), now I think I'm sending too small. Please be patient, and harsh!!..I.m trying..

Every one seems to have their own way of resizing.
I use photoshop elements for most of my editing.
When I'm done with whatever I do to the shot, I go to image, resize, and then make the longest side 800. Then I do any sharpening I need and go to save as. When I save I set the quality at 9 as above 9 is too big.
