Help - problems with pictures posted

Help!
Although I have managed now to post a couple of pictures on the sistem pics thread they look very fuzzy. Can anyone expalin in layman's terms where I am going wrong?
For the record I am using PM View Pro on trial. I open a picture at it maybe, say, 900 kb. I then go to transform and select size to reduce the maximum pixel count to below 500. I then go to file and select save as and select options and reduce the quality until the image is below 50kb and then save as a jpeg.
And yet the pictures are appearing fuzzy. The only thing I can think of is that I am composing pictures with too much ancillary detail and therefore starting off with an image with a huge number of bytes. By the time I have reduced the image as above it becomes fuzzy.
Looking at other picutres I have taken the byte count is as low as 80/90 bytes. Maybe these pictures can be reduced to below 50kb and they will not look fuzzy.
