Why is the image size limit only 512KB?

Seriously? To post an image on a support ticket, the maximum size of each image is 512KB. I've tried every format under the sun to get an entire 1920x1080 screenshot to save in under that and it's darn near impossible. The entire screenshot is important so it's not like I can trim it down, but no matter what compression or format I use I can't seem to get it under ~800KB. Wat.

There's a few solutions depending on how your comp is set up and with what programs.

For a graphic/artisitic person with photoshop, I'd tell them to change the resolution to 72 dpi and save for web quality (low res jpeg ect).

For the average Joe who thinks what i just previously typed was me speaking in tongues, you'll want to take your image and open it with MSPaint. Resize it down between 50-70% of original size, and save as a jpeg (not bmp!!). Quality still readable.
