Well take a chance and experiment with a larger size save, because this compression level at 3 is not acceptable for your purposes! You may find when you save at greater than 100KB, say at level 7, that once this image is uploaded it is really only 65KB for Forum purposes. I also don't understand why that is.
Please follow what I advised in the last post. Save your image (going back to the original and shrinking it again. Don't re-use your level 3 image over again!) to level 8, or if you dare, 9. With all the beard detail you may well end up with a file size larger than 100KB, but don't fret! "Save-As" this image one more time at the same level 9, and see what file size you get on the second save. The image will be sharp and true, and yet be a usable file size for this Forum. Try it!
