I think confusion has been caused for me with some comps asking for min Image size of 1Mb - leading me to believe image size (Mb) was measure of quality it seems that this is not the case

thanks redhead 17 your explanation makes sense if the image size is a measure of the different colours in the image. ie the number of colours is reduced but the pixels remain the same. (more pixels with the same colour value). so a completely white picture could 1 byte and several thousand...

I thought Mb was another way of counting pixels but from what derek writes the pixels are the same...
