Help with A700 JPEG file size

[FujiSigmaNolta]

Hi guys,

Is there a sure fire way to achieve above 8MB JPEG file size with the A700?
I have been struggling to achieve this output with it. I rarely get above that. The reason why I am asking is that I used to be with the now defunct Scoopt (but I continue getting cheques from Getty which is good, but I also like to submit pictures ) and I am with Alamy who require a minimum of 8MB file size to be accepted by them. I know the A700 can produce 10MB files but I rarely get above 7.7xMB with it. I have tried fiddling with settings and have achieved a couple of 9.92MB files but only a couple the rest were below 8MB using the same settings.
I don't want to interpolate with Photoshop, the A700 has a lovely quality to its pictures to ruin it with interpolating and resizing and all that jazz.
Help please!

Thanks

Luis,

Do a google for up-sizing and you'll get lots of techniques for increasing the file size.

With Alamy, it's not just 8M compressed... it needs to be 50M uncompressed. A longest edge of 5350px will cover that.

I forgot that. So I'm really stuck with resizing isn't it?
