| 214368 | 2004-02-10 18:48:00 | Photoshop is easy, save as, choose jpg, then slide the quality bar down and it tells you the size. In Windows XP if you email a pic it asks if you want to downsize it (like fries and a drink but in reverse). Not sure of other methods. what picture software do you have? robo. |

| 214370 | 2004-02-10 20:05:00 | Photoshop is expensive. A free alternative is IrfanView. Go to: www.irfanview.com/ or CNET Downloads: http: Many of us here on PF1 use Irfanview, even when we also have PhotoShop, etc. Irfanview loads quickly and is easy to use. Steve L |

If you use it to shrink the image, suggest you duplicate the image first, and reduce the copy. Reducing the image's file size will degrade it's quality y'see, so you may want to keep the original in it's better quality |

| 214372 | 2004-02-10 22:53:00 | Good advice, but at 200Kb it's not really printable anyway. robo. |

| 214373 | 2004-02-11 04:27:00 | Another very easy way in XP Home to resize images, is to simply right-click on the file and select Resize Pictures. You will have the option of a variety of pre-determined sizes [small, medium, large and handheld PC] and it will automatically make a copy of the image rather than only converting the original. If you click on the Advanced button you will also get an option to select a custom size. | Jen C (20) | ||

| 214375 | 2004-02-12 03:28:00 | Robo, I have successfully printed jpeg photos down to 150 Kb, with no pixelating - and not on a computer printer but taken to local photo stores . These are the usual large print size - I think it is a 6 by 4, sometimes called jumbo prints but most everyone uses this size . I have also printed an 85 Kb photo, taken on a cheap digcam that I got in Singapore, and it is my wife's favourite photo of her daughter's baby . Yep, you can see the pixels if you look close but on her desk in a frame, no one notices from the usual viewing distance . After the Singapore cheapie, I bought a PB Technology 1 . 3 Mp Digitrex digcam and took many photos around 150 - 200 Kb, and it is impossible to see any pixels at the usual size . A 6 by 8 photo of about 250 Kb is super . Had an argument with a Camera House guy who claimed the above examples (not the 85 Kb) would pixelate, but he back tracked when I brought the photos in for him to see . Digressing from the original post again, but printing an A4 size photo on my Epson C40UX (720 dpi max but that is a stretch) from a 350 Kb jpeg, on HP photo paper semi gloss, has impressed visitors to our home to the extent that some have since bought digcams . |

| 214376 | 2004-02-12 05:56:00 | Just another one for you to try. Pixresizer, it's free and available from http://bluefive.pair.com It's really good for resizing all types of image files Regards Intel Hunter |
