| 147776 | 2003-05-27 02:21:00 | Anyone got any suggestions on doing this. I have found that saving as JPEG loses too much of the quality. At present I am scanning into word and than saving as a word document. This allows the size to be manipulated without losing the quality, but results in very large e-mails. I want to keep the quality so the wait is preferable to poor photos. Any advice welcome. Jack |

| 147778 | 2003-05-27 02:44:00 | check your jpeg quality settings, up the quality settings a bit higher. if at 100% and the quality is still poor then look at saving them in a non-lossy format. jpeg is lossy so the smaller the file the poorer the quality. i use ifranveiw which is handy for resizing pics. i normaly save the pics as png (good quality but large file size) then convert and resize the pics to jpeg/giff before emailing them. useing word is not a good way to do it. |

| 147779 | 2003-05-27 02:46:00 | When you save your photos as Jpegs, you should be able to trade quality off against size by selecting the amount of compression used (higher compression = smaller file size = lower quality). If the picture manipulation program you use, doesn't allow you to select the jpeg compression value, download something like Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com). A jpeg will give you a smaller file than a word doc with an embedded photo (for the same quality). Beware: your email size will blow out to somewhat larger than the attached file, owing to the encoding used for attachments. |
