I need to shrink a full-bleed hero to a web-optimized file that loads quickly without visible artifacts. The source is a 6000px JPEG; target is 1600px for desktop. Tell me the exact export chain — resize interpolation, sharpening pass, file format and quality setting — that will keep the hero crisp at 1600px and keep the file under 250KB, and warn me which step makes the image go soft if done wrong.
