JPEG images

[Griffo 1]

Hi Guys,

Can any of you give me an idea on how to reduce in size my JPEG images thus making them quicker and easier to post.

Many thanks

Griffo, I hope you get a good answer to this. I posted the same question last week, it was lost when the board went down.

Both Adobe Photo deluxe and Microsoft Photodraw both have utilities which allow you, when you save your files as jpegs to alter the "quality". All this means, for you is that the file size is altered. This works within suprising tolerances for photos just to be seen once.

Almost all photo editing packages have this facility, so the software you got with your nice digital camera probably has it. The moral? If all else fails, read the f**king manual ??? ???

Regards,

Andy

Griffo,

 

If your scanner came with an image viewing/editing programme such as ACDSee you can normally resize the image and/or adjust the compression to the file size that suits your needs.

 

If the push comes to the shove e-mail me your pics at sabaitom@aol.com and i will reduce them to the size you want and send them back to you.

 

Regards,

 

Tom

Hi Griffo,

 

I have Adobe Photoshop 6 (a bit expensive for the full version), but there are cheaper versions around. The version I have has a facility I use for creating jpeg files of around 20kb in size, ideal for uploading to the photo gallery. I use this for uploading photos to my own photo web site

 

I click on File, then automate and then Web Photo Gallery. It's then a matter of telling the software where the original photos are stored and tellinit where you want to save the jpeg files to. It's very quick and you can reduce 25 - 30 photos from an average size of 25mb to 20kb in a matter of a minute or two.

If you use a windows machine, you can reduce your picture size using [Paint].

 

Program ¨ Accessary¨Paint

You can find [Deformation(I)] Menue. In the menue, there is a tag, [expansion and contraction, gradient].

Click this tag, you can reduce your picture size.

 

I  don't use English machine, so the words written in [ ] may be different, but I think you can easely find proper procedure.

 

I came across following post in a Bord I forgot the name.

I have not yet tried.

If the photos are too big , you can reduse them here :

If you don't have any graphics programs, I point people to the IrvanView32 program - its free and has a host of good features, including resize/resample: The latter is better since it uses B-spline formulas which usually give better results (and don't ask about the bicubic mathmatics involved or i'll post the full answer and the matric formula itself ... very very scary stuff ) [and no I don't understand how the f*** it works, it just does and I'm happy with that].

 

try

www.irfanview.com

or

http://irfanview.tuwien.ac.at/iview375.zip

for the fast download.

 

Irfanview also has colour enhancers and effects like the 3d button that you can see on my trip report [on the trip reports pages]. If you have problems using this to reduce your jpegs, email me and I'll talk you through it.

 

Its the best freebie around that I know of.

 

Enjoy
