Sorry Dumb Question

[Rookie 300d]

I,m very sorry but i am short of throwing my computer out of the window!!!
When i reduce my images to less than 1280x1024 for uploading why do they stay larger than 520000 bytes i am sorry to ask such a simple question but i need help

Thanks from a not so up to speed with adobe wildlife addict!

It's not dumb at all.
You need to save them as jpeg images, with a quality setting of about mid-range, or if your software allows it, save as for the web. That together with the images size will make the image well under the 500K limit.
