Hi Everyone!
Cats4Jan - sounds like you and I do the same kind of work in PSE - digital scrapbooking. In the 10+ years I've been scrapping, I've never had this problem!
Buckskin - here is how I finally solved the matter! I started over, completely! From scratch. While I tried pulling in an element from the original file, as soon as I saved it to a jpg, bammm, large file size. Whatever metadata is, whatever space it takes up, it must be like some awful germs that you can't see!! But finally, finally, I saved the newly created file to a jpg with a more reasonable size.
In the morning, I will redo the back side of the card and I am sure I will then be able to upload and print my card.
I cannot thank you all enough for your time, thoughts, and suggestions. It is so nice to know that there are good people who will make the time to help others. I am so grateful! Hope I can keep an eye out on this site and one day do something to help others!

sounds like you and I do the same kind of work in PSE - digital scrapbooking. Yep - been scrapping since around 2006 - started with greeting cards. As I mentioned, until you brought it up, I never realized my psd's were so huge. The jpg's don't seem to be that large, though. With PSE, there is sometime the need for 'work arounds' - and it looks like you've found one that works for your project. Glad to hear it.

Thank you very much BuckSkin ! Re: the exiftool link, since you can get to the relevant page yourself, maybe if you can copy the address into an Insert Quote or Insert Code block I will be able to get to it.
If you want to get even more serious, plus be able to read and review just what the data is, then ExifToolGUI will do the trick; go to paragraph 2. for the download link: exiftool.org/gui/Note: for whatever reason, there seems to be a bit of a problem with the ExifToolGUI link; I have the page opened on my machine at the very address I linked to, but when I test the link, I get an error; hopefully, it is just a temporary thing. BuckSkin, That link doesn't work for me either. I did some searching around and found this one. Is is it? ExiftoolGuiI just tried the link and it all seems to be back up and running.
