When I resize my pictures to try and fit them on this forum, I am having difficulty with the total bytes component. As I lower the pixels in the width and height, my bytes go down, but I am staring out @ 3 million + Bytes!
By the time I get the bytes down to 150,000, the picture is too small. Any suggestions? Obviously Hopsterguy has figured it out, because I am trying to get more of the pictures from Heath's outing on the board and he appears to have figured it out.
Thanks in advance,
JJ

Easiest way is to use MS Paint... load the image, and go to image, and then stretch/skew I reduced those images by about 60 percent I think and it worked out well.

If that still isn't enough for you... try to find a program that will let you set the JPEG quality setting. The higher the quality of the jpeg compression, the higher the file size. So reduce quality and it will reduce the file size.

It's trial and error to get what you want... so just play around with that stuff.

I will try it again. I have been trying to decrease the size in MS photo editor.
I will have to see if I have MS paint. With photo editor, when I decreases it enough for the site parameters, the picture looks rough, just like my Avatar. That is from Heath's outing as well. I love the picture as my Avatar, but you can see that it is grainy.

Yeah, all I've used is MS Paint for quick and dirty resizing.

Works well for me.

guy's download this program "picsizer" it will resize batch photos, make sure you resize to a new file so you don't resize the original's. it is a great program to use to post multi files to the web etc. cam accross it a few months back and I have used it since, give it a try, real simple.

MS paint was the cure. Thanks for the advice.

try the pic sizer program though it is really easy and saves a ton of time for multi's.
