JPG "Save as" vs "Export" - 6x size difference

[Hacker]

Hi,
XnView MP 1.0 64-bit, Windows 10.

I was trying to reduce the size of the attached image Original.jpg. I wanted to resize it to 50% x 50% and save it as JPG with a Quality setting of 80.

So, first I resized the image using these settings:

Then I used Save as... using the following settings for JPG:

WriteSettings.png (24.5 KiB) Viewed 689 times

The resulting file "Test-SaveAs.jpg" was 1,151,532 bytes large, so even larger than the original.

Then I tried again, resizing the original image and this time using Export... using the following settings:

The resulting file "Test-Export.jpg" is only 183,614 bytes large, so 6 times smaller than the "Test-SaveAs.jpg" which I expected to be about the same size.

Why is there such a size difference, please? Am I making a mistake in my expectations?

TIA
Roman
Attached are the original image and the results of the Save as and the Export commands after resizing.)

I barely read the post.. but I did see Keep ICC Profile ticked... ICC profiles can be much larger than the image itself.. so untick that and see if that makes the difference then you'll know what was causing it.

Indeed, you were right, thank you!
