Default how do I format megabytes

I am trying to recreate a slide, but the original prints clearly, mine
doesn't. I was told by the printer that the original is 569 megabytes, so I
need to make my new slide the same. I don't see anywhere to reconfigure
megabytes. Help!

569 MEGABYTES??? Good lord, that's ridiculous. A 5 megapixel photo
averages between 1.5 and 2.5 megabytes. A 10 megapixel photo up to 4x
that. No slide of any practical use would require resolution of the
order suggested here.

Btw, I have no idea how you're creating your image files, but the
setting(s) you're searching for is "resolution" and/or "color depth".
Adjusting either of those will alter the filesize of the output. If
sharpness was the complaint, resolution is what you're after.

What Karl said.

Also, PPTools ImageExport might help:
