Resizing

[captaincarl]

Hi all,

I downloaded Ifran View and have no problems resizing it now to 640 x 480. The only thing i can solve is getting an image down to 30K or less. Any advice on how to do that?

Thanks,

Carl

I'm thinking you're refering to getting the image within the limits for a forum signature?

When you go to save the image as a jpeg file you can adjust the "quality" before your click "OK" to save.

Setting the "quality" to a lower setting will help shrink the file size. Lower it a small amount at a time though, a little bit will help more then you might think.

Also, any effects you add to the image (if any at all) will increase the file size. So keep that in mind as well.


Another nice image software package I'd recommend you get is GIMP. It's a free downloadable program that is very similar to programs like Photoshop. Of course, Photoshop would be better if you could afford, but GIMP is an excellent alternative (especially considering it's freeware). If you'd like to look into GIMP just google "GIMP".

a level 80 quality JPG in Infranview comes out at around 30ish kbs at 800x600.

Woah, 30kbs for a full sized picture?! You're allowed upto 100kbs per pic, why reduce it so much?
