how to resize to 2mb in lightroom?

[cameragirl]

The newspaper is interested in my photos. They would like to have 2mb images. Is there a way to do this in Lightroom, selecting photos or a collection and send this by email? How do I do this? Any help appreciated, thanks!!

Your newspaper needs to come into the 21st century.

2MB means nothing. You can have a 2MB tiff file that is smaller than 640x480, or you can have an optimized .png or .gif at 2MB the size of a house.

Ask them what RESOLUTION, not what SIZE they need.

+1. They need to tell you the long side dimension in pixels (or inches + dpi).

This is why newspapers are going out of business -- they just don't get it!

Yea. normally it's 2400 pixels on the longest side and saved at 200 dpi. That'll give them at least a 10 inch long photo.
