I believe you are looking for the quality slide bar under file settings. It goes from 0-100 so I guess a 50 would be considered 5. Maybe someone else will chime in with more info.
@ozziehoffy, yep @hollandcrew is correct. Although since PS goes from 1 - 12, then 5 would be closer to 42. That said, I wouldnt recommend dropping below 70
@toast@hollandcrew Yes and Yes. However, I'd suggest 80% be the floor with Lightroom and jpeg with a 2400 widest side image if your doing web/internet viewing. You may be wanting to drop to "level 5" for protecting your images online, but keeping them at 70-80 is fine since making the pictures larger or printing them just doesn't look good, but they are fine for on-line viewing.
Compression level 5, IIRC, means 1:5 compression ratio... I've yet to find you that actually maps onto the slider though... Adobe's documentation is a bit, erm, sparse.
Thank you all so much! I thought it would be that. I don't usually drop them down that far. It's a requirement for a competition. I'm guessing they want small sizes for a reason. Inty, I'll check that out tomorrow when I'm on the computer :)
@intymalcolm Many thanks for that article.. interesting how adobe handles this - i'm guessing they've kind of just "dumbed down" the interface for the consumer
