ot How to reduce a pic
« on: April 03, 2007, 06:14:43 AM »
Is there any easy way to reduce a pictures file size in order to post. Most of mine are 2meg+ & the picture sever only handles up to 0.5 meg. Not real computer suave when it come to this. Easy instructions please.
That's my boy, GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

First, check your camera. Set the resolution to a lower setting.
Or; right click on the image you want to upload, click on edit, open the image tab, go to the skew and stretch, and reduce the file by %. Save it and then post it. Make sure your pictures are not "bit-map" format. Save them as "jpeg" file. There are also some photo editing programs that re-sizing is very easy. There are actually several good ways to re-size image's. I'm sure you'll hear about some others.

 First I'd start with the camera picture size set-up.
no x now!

I use screenhunter 4.0 which is a free download at download.com  Works great, you can customize the "box" to include exactly what you want and still get a big picture with little file size.
