| 212841 | 2004-02-04 10:19:00 | Most of my jpg files are around 100MB but the photo files on the cd from the lab turn out to be around 500MB. I can view these ok in full screen mode but the problem is the time it takes to e-mail them to family. Even one file takes several minutes. Is the a way to covert them to smaller pictures/files? Thanks for any help on this. Ken. |

| 212843 | 2004-02-04 10:30:00 | Most photo editing programs can do this. If you do not have one download irfanview (Google) and someone here will talk you through it. | gerrypics (323) | ||
| 212844 | 2004-02-04 10:31:00 | You can resize your pictures using a free program such as Irfanview - this is an excellent and easy to use program. Simply open a picture and resize it from the menu options. If you want to do a whole stack of pics in one go then use the batch / conversion and then go into advanced options to set your new size that you want. The program is available from here: http://www.irfanview.com/ |

| 212845 | 2004-02-04 10:34:00 | simply open the image in the program metioned above goto save as select file type of jpg click on the option s button and move the silder. this actually compresses the pixels which canont be undone so change the file name so you can go back to the orignal | beama (111) | ||

| 212848 | 2004-02-04 11:48:00 | emailing usually requires quite a small attachment size for speedy downloads, especially if sending more than one at a time. How many files of what size are you trying to send? Commonly used image viewing/manipulation programs (say MS Photo Editor, or "Gimp") allow changing the picture size and jpg compression setting. Reducing pictures down to 640x480 or even smaller, with a compression ratio of 60-75%, can produce really compact pictures that are still quite viewable. Having a play with picture size and compression settings, and then viewing the results should allow finding an acceptable compromise. good luck :-) |

| 212849 | 2004-02-04 12:00:00 | ahh, and as mentioned in a previous post, choose "save as" a new file name each time to keep the original.... I've lost a few forgetting to do that! | grinch (5206) | ||
| 212850 | 2004-02-04 19:53:00 | gidday, a small free program called pixsizer is on this web site http://bluefive.pair.com/ does the job nively without altering the original. cheers, Robby |
